Cyberdine Systems anyone?

I stumbled upon this video via digg.com as my usual source of weird things, but when i saw this i kinda freaked out. Now most of us have grow up with the Terminator movies, and as some of you may know cyberdine systems are the ones who created the terminator. When i see this video it reminds me about it and sends a chilling shiver down my spine at the thought robots being this sophisticated. what opened my eyes is when this modle slips on the ice and recovers. Its new technology like this that makes holly wood sci fi into reality and i have to say its pretty scarry that the thought of that becoming reality. To top it all off this robot is not located too far off from us... yup if you can guess its near boston.

The company sprung up from MIT and is called Boston Dynamics Robots and its company description is "builds advanced robots with remarkable behavior: mobility, agility, dexterity and speed." So one can safly assume that this prototype is well on its way to becoming field ready for the military.
