Boston Dynamics' LittleDog has made progress recently.
Not only was this little robotic critter able to move alone over difficult terrain, but now it does so with greater confidence: It jumps, climbs stairs, and reacts to real-time obstacles.
"Little Dog" means "
petit chien" in French, and it is impressive to watch.
It is equipped with artificial intelligence and driven by learning algorithms.
The video below is not accelerated; it is truly its normal speed.
Boston Dynamics is the company making the "Big Dog" robot mule in association with DARPA in the USA.
