No dude in a suit. This is this real thing and unassisted. I do believe that they can now fix weapon malfunctions and do self repair. Rethink your ballistics the next time you are at your reloading bench.

Here come ol' Cassie! Who needs an upper torso? That just makes everything top heavy. Looks like a politician with it's brain all shoved up it's ass.
[ note to employers] Do ya think they drug tested the electronics dude? Its funny how you don't get drug tested flipping burgers or designing and building cutting edge technology but, you are tested for any lamestream job in between.

I don't understand the obsession with bipedal movement. Quadrapeds have some serious advantages in speed, stability and agility. Is it just that they want to make a human like robot?

Usually jobs involving the operation of any kind of equipment, motor vehicle, or jobs requiring high levels of integrity (cash handling, etc) are tested.

Maybe they think tech workers are more "creative" when they're stoned.

Pretty amazing tech... Same as PMB I laughed at the gymnastics style finish with upraised arms.

BTW not all tech workers are drug tested. The small and mid-size companies I've worked for never did any drug testing.
Fortune 500 companies routinely perform a pre-employment drug screen and credit check as part of the application process.

Time for North Korea to start sweating when we can equip cadres of these with plasma rifles in the 40w range and deliver them to an area of operation with remotely piloted drop ships. That's a ways off yet but even this demonstration of agility would have been unthinkable 10 or 20 years ago.
