Now I want you to imagine this as a wheelchair type device, carrying a paralyzed human. Of course calmed down a bit so the jiggly human bits don't break.

That would be wonderful, but I can just see law enforcement using them for crowd control during protests/demonstrations/etc. And of course the military applications would be virtually endless...
Ummm..... yeah. Who do you think is funding Boston Dynamics for this research?

It's all Pentagon, baby.
I hope they are also investing in how to control it, otherwise this giant can of hubris will open itself sooner than later. http://www.ted.com/talks/sam_harris_can_...ol_over_it
