Rongzhong Li, who is responsible for the adorable robotic cat Nybble, has an updated and even more adorable quadruped that's more robust and agile but only costs around US $200 in kit form on Kickstarter.
At just 26 pounds, Indego’s elegant exoskelton design has no exposed cables or upper-body apparatus and does not require bulky backpack mounted components.
