The firm's BigDog robot can throw breeze blocks
In a statement posted on the Google Plus service, Chief Executive Larry Page said:
"I am excited about Andy Rubin's next project. His last big bet, Android, started off as a crazy idea that ended up putting a supercomputer in hundreds of millions of pockets. It is still very early days for this, but I can't wait to see the progress."

Google has said it would honour the existing military contracts with Darpa.
