It is not the horse that I find interesting on this page of itself...
About 3/4ths down you see some shape variation...
Anyone see the feet from the "prototype ED 209" on robocop...

With an ever growing goverment it worries me "nervous giggle" that one day you may see the above in real life...
however cool...

re: Robo Horse / ED 209
Trying to enable robots to walk like humans can be a real headache in terms of the technology required which comes down to sensors to continuously monitor the robot's body position, corrective changes in joint tensions to counter balance any falling over in one direction, and the hardware and software to make all of this work.
However, with advances in computer technology and nanotechnology, eventually, even this complex task will be reasonably simulated. I think that, perhaps, it will take another 20 or 30 years of research before we can see completely autonomous robots walking about our homes or streets...but, most of us will see this in our lifetimes.

On 7/6/06, I found, in any overbalanced gravity wheel with rotation rate, ω, axle to CG distance d, and CG dip angle φ, the average vertical velocity of its drive weights is downward and given by:
Vaver = -2(√2)πdωcosφ
Vaver = -2(√2)πdωcosφ
