Little Dog robot: brilliant, clever and more than a bit scary

Boston Dynamics – who previously scared the Beejuzus out of us with their BigDog robotic load carrier creation - has produced a smaller, meaner, weirder version, aptly called Little Dog.
The new robot mini-canine comes with a slew of cunning technological advancements, making its progress over difficult, rocky terrain look even more animal-like than before.
Check out the video below and watch the little critter climb over obstacles and traverse awkward ground with ease, and begin to feel a little worried about the future.
And where’s its head gone? OMG!
Check out its ultra-terrifying predecessor, BigDog. Run!
