Cool article from IEEE Spectrum on Kiva, a company that manufactures robotic warehousing solutions: Three Engineers, Hundreds of Robots, One Warehouse.

Carolyn sent me this: BigDog, "a quadruped robot that walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads."

It's awesome. Be sure to check out the guy's kicking the robot, the robot's navigating ice, and the robot's jumping like a horse over an obstacle.
