Autonomous: The ability to make one’s own decisions.
Automatic: A system that responds to environmental input with pre-programmed responses.
Semi-autonomous: A system capable of making [some] decisions based on
context, and relying on human intervention or override for others.
A single system may have multiple modes.

BigDog is a dynamically stable
quadruped robot created in 2005 by
Boston Dynamics with Foster-Miller, the
NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the
Harvard University Concord Field
Station.[1] It was funded by DARPA, but
the project was shelved after the BigDog
was deemed too loud for combat.[2]

•A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction,
allow a human being to come to harm.
•A robot must obey orders given it by human beings
except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
•A robot must protect its own existence
as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
