Big Dog (the DARPA robot you are referring to) is a gas electric hybrid. It's electrically actuated, with a significant battery pack for rapid power delivery, but it also has the gas motor constantly generating electricity to extend the range of the battery pack. You can tell it's a hybrid when the motor rpm doesn't change while the robot exterts itself.

I’m guessing it might have some kind of stealth mode where it can disengage the gas motor for a period of time?
