No, please don’t add a head, it’s not suppose to be a artificial pet anyway, it’s to be a packmule for the army, and a robot for exploring other planets and various moons probably, but not a pet or a disneypark thing.

I think adding a head would make it 75% less creepy.

the articulation of the joints is beautifully smooth. reminds me more of a bug than a dog tho. Unless you consider it’s about as coordinated as a newborn puppy on freshly waxed ceramic tile.

This technology is neat, would be a great way to replace wheelchairs, I’m getting sick of ramps all over the place.

this does look very much like something from half-life… perhaps we could create a real life half-life – like a theme park or something. have big dogs and little dogs coming after you as you battle your way through the fairground with nothing but a crowbar

My guess would be the “jogging in place” of the big version is to compensate for the inertia of its combustion engine.

In the video of the big dog on you tube, I love how it reacted to being kicked by the guy. it reacted just like a quadrupedal animal, except slower. Fluent lifelike motion. Yea it looks creepy too, decapitated dog thing. On a side note the Japanese have a trippy snake robot that can swim and go across just about anything.
