humanoid robot for disaster relief can now walk uneven shaky ground

[PeaceGen]

this popped up in the Dutch news, thought it would be cool to share,
because apparently the latest plan is to have "terminator" fight natural disasters like forest fires and such

the subtitles in the video (Dutch), explain how 'the robot uses sensors to make a map of the terrain ahead' and thus becomes able to walk over seemingly very shaky terrain..

and yes, i've also (a few years ago already) seen videos of the same kind of robot being used to run over terrain littered with very large stones.
so don't expect these not to show up on battlefields, i guess.
