That's some serious balancing. Engineers at Boston Dynamics are making progress with "Atlas", the 6-foot, 330-pound humanoid robot.

Every year around this time, China holds a massive military drill. Like clockwork. Military police units from across the country's thirty-four provincial level districts show off the latest in domestic security. This year, the theme is knife attacks.
If you want to build something for the U.S. military, you're probably going to have to make a diagram or a chart to demonstrate how it'll work. Might as well bust out Illustrator and paste together the weirdest diagram possible.
