Modern Robotics at Work

My first impression: If this thing came at me in the woods looking like that, and sounding like that, I would definitely be scared as hell.

My next thought: Where to begin with all the great possibilities for this technology?

A few uses that I can think of right off the bat:

• A pack mule that never gets tired and can be programmed to complete regular tasks unsupervised would be a God send for a small farm operator.
• A device that can climb small terrain, compensate for sudden changes in friction, as well as quickly recover from a sudden shift in balance would open the doors to advanced exploration on other planets.
• Camouflaged to look like a horse, people could ride around on one of these babies on their vacation property without the cost and effort of maintaining a living horse.

What do you think would be a possible application of this amazing technology?
