Military Tech: This DARPA robot can conquer all terrains

The following showcase video released by DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency showcases a highly agile military robot prototype capable of navigating serious obstructions and terrains.

Prepare to witness aimpressive glimpse at our future robot soldier. DARPA released this stunning video showing how an autonomous robot can navigate- and jump over obstacles with ease. The Pet-Proto is a predecessor the Atlas robot which traverses a simulated hallway containing a very tall step and a thin walkway.

 It easily uses its strong arms to balance itself as it climbs a step, then perfectly leaps down with a thud. The highly agile walker stretches its legs to continue its way along the thin edges of a gutted hallway floor.
