Looks like Boston Dynamics’ BigDog has made the swim over to Japan and has gotten busy weirding people out over there, too:

And in case it wasn’t abundantly clear, no, this isn’t the actual BigDog… It’s BigDog Beta (or a knockoff), a cheaper and more, um, organic version of the actual pack-carrying robotic quadruped.
