@robertjvictor The ancestor robot (Rugged-RHex) existed before Boston Dynamics was in the business of making robots. The initial design was wholly created at McGill, and was transferred to BDI when the PI in charge of the project. The AQUA project was already underway when he left along with some of the team that helped create the RHex fmily of robots. The design was forked at that point, with BDI and McGill independently developing subsequent versions. And yes, the IP is owned by McGill.
@robertjvictor This robot was designed and built, both hardware and software, at McGill. The predecessor (non-underwater) was designed and built with DARPA sponsorship by a team from McGill, U Mich, Berkeley and Carnegie Mellon. The patents for this technology are held by several universities, not Boston Dynamics. One of the principlals (Buehler) worked for Boston Dynamics, but not any longer. In short, although BDI has a video of a predecessor on their web page, you are clueless.
Simple robot but it would be great for underwater exploratrions, use the thing to finaly dismiss the belief of the Lockness monster cus im getting tired of hearing about it on the scifi channel >:[
Sure makes you wonder what the military might already have. I remember a former CIA dude telling me that in the 1960s, he was translating Soviet tank blueprints that were taken from a satellite photo of a clipboard.

@RonLussierLenscraft Wouldn't you want to know the 'how much' before the 'where'? This thing will probably cost upwards of $20K.
