This undoubtedly has to have a very sophisticated control system in it. Just imagine the kind of real-time computations, decision making and actuation events that must take place in order to keep the system stable when the thing is kicked or skids over ice. Very impressive.

I am as impressed as you. Having studied and worked with control systems makes you appreciate the system in something like this. Its ability to recover on ice is just amazing! Props to Boston Dynamics for putting this together.
