But give that automation a quadruped layout and life-like locomotion, and suddenly it's an omen of mechanical doom.Misguided pattern-recognition cues, perhaps - ironically enough, exactly the same thing that might make sheep respond better to this mechanical shepherd than they would to one on wheels.</blockquote>
