I’d say they’re a long way from implanting a pit bull’s brain!

“the design enables the impact energy of the robot’s leg hitting the ground to be captured and fed into the robot’s battery.”

Isn’t it better to capture the energy in a spring like the much debated prosthetics of the amputee runner Oscar Pistorius? It was said they stored the impact energy more efficiently than human tendons, enabling him to maximize his momentum.
