Do a youtube search for big dog robot. They've been working on this thing and it's kin for well more than 2 years now, It's Darpa related not military controlled, it's done by Boston University, I'm sure it wasn't cheap but the military is seriously interested in this stuff for uneven terrain troop equipment carriers.

probes' main problem has always been about power. Solar, organic fuel, and so on. I read in Real Robots UK, there's a slugbot which picks up slugs, stores 'em in a organic fuel chamber to convert the slugs into methane gas and use it to refuel the robot itself. Sounds pretty funny to me.
