Meet the Precision Urban Hopper, the latest military invention that is able to easily pass through a bumpy terrain and spring vertically over various obstacles as high as 25 feet.The hopper was built by Boston Dynamics, a company that specializes in developing advanced dynamic robots. Their previous projects include BigDog and PETMAN. Boston Dynamics managed to sign a contract with Sandia National Laboratories, the developer of science-based technologies for national security, to create the next gen Precision Urban Hopper.
