Citizen Bot
To counter the freakiness of BigDog, I present to you Eco-Be. A tiny (only 2.5 cm tall) Zippo shaped robot that runs off a watch battery. It can move forwards, backwards, turn, and shuffle side to side.
Apparently the robot can run for a very LONG LONG time on just a single watch battery, but why would a watch company be interested in robots? The answer could be Citizen is attempting to find "systems" that can give you low power consumption with lots of activity; either that or they are secretly building an armada of these things for some future Hello Kitty ruled world takeover.
Just imagine a bunch of these things climbing up BigDog tearing it apart limb by limb. Awesome huh?
