Robots on the Run! 5 Bots That Can Really Move

Earlier this month, the Google-owned robotics company Boston Dynamics released a video of its humanoid robot running through a forest.

If you need proof, check out the blooper reel from this year's DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC), a humanoid-robot competition hosted by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
