Video: Four-Legged Animal Robot PIGORASS Jumps, Gallops By Itself

We've covered our fair share of animal robots from Japan in the last years, but PIGORASS, developed by Yasunori Yamada from the University of Tokyo surely stands out: Yamada has developed a four-legged robot that can walk, jump, and (in a way) gallop, too.

Given that Yamada is still a master student and even advanced robots (like Honda's Asimo, for example) are only able to move in a slow, chopping motion, the way the PIGORASS works is pretty impressive.
