    The demo video is really fun to watch. I particularly liked the bit where the guy kicks it sideways - it would have been more fun if as well as correcting itself it could retaliate with a pair of big metal teeth

    Been around a while that one. Doesn't look like they have extended the technology, at least publicly. For me it falls into the area of seriously cool, and will be even better when they can make them autonomous.

    Last I heard they were going for military contracts.
