If I plug in a YouTube link will it also tally all of the YouTube link variations for that video? For example, if I put in this video , will it also include the shortened this video in the tally?

Boston Dynamics shows WildCat, a four-legged robot built with DARPA funding that reached about 19 mph using bounding and galloping gaits.
Why Hacker News points people here: Used as a reference point when comparing other legged robots, such as the MIT Cheetah, on gait and speed.

The bounding part is very cool (I caught myself leaning forward in surprise [and mild horror?] as the machine jumped over the box instead of maneuvering around it). Besides not requiring fuel, does anyone know how this is different/better/unique than Google/BostonDynamic's WildCage? ( this video ) I certainly agree that more people working on this is a good thing, but I'd like to understand the progress being made.

Is this where Boston Robotics comes in? For heavy load, they have wild cat[wildcat] and for lighter loads, they have spot [spot]. For Ussain Bolt, there is the cheetah [cheetah] that can keep up with the pace peaking at over 29 miles per hour. All these are at various stages in development and as far as I understand not ready for production. spot this video wildcat this video cheetah link
