And when retired from government service, the robot could be the nine minute mile pace runner for a marathon?

I think “Runs Free” is somewhat of an overstatement, guys.
So the best minds in robotics aren’t working for DARPA. That’s somewhat heartening.

I could hear this thing coming a mile away. Unless the plan is to defeat America’s future invented enemies by KEEPING THEM AWAKE.

So this robot will potentially stand in for humans in activities where a boom for lateral stabilization is available? Cool.

The knees look fairly ordinary.

What’s creepy is that it looks like its feet have been amputated and it’s running around on the stumps.
