Unbelievable Robots

I absolutely love how systems and controls can be used to make sci-fi looking stuff a reality.

This "robot-dog/horse" thing is incredible.



Here's a different implementation of this technology, but towards the exo-skeleton side. This is a military implementation. It's a bit hokey, but amazing none-the-less.




This Japanese prototype looks much more refined, but with less emphasis put on sheer strength.



This is a semi-autonomous RC plane which takes off and lands vertically on a wall. This is not an Osprey type plane with propellers which transition to helicopter like orientation. It is a regular single prop RC plane, with fully autonomous transitions from vertical take-off to level flight and back to vertical landing.



This stuff is awesome.
