A small, nimble robot called the Precision Urban Hopper, which can leap two stories in a single bound despite being smaller than a PackBot, is making a splash on TV via a BBC video. Check it out at Gizmodo.
Seems like Boston Dynamics, which also has developed the freaky Big Dog robotic pack mule, is thinking of muscling in on the small robot scene currently dominated by iRobot.

If it was able to jump back over the fence -- that would be cool.
Urban Hopper, big dog? :) nice names. They sure have the SUGV300 and Packbot beat there.
