Bat-teK is a Carnegie Mellon + Lockheed Martin project that uses a lot of Surveyor's robotic technologies, including the YARB blimp, SVS stereo camera and SRV-1 robot, along with CMU's console and mapping applications. CMU gave us permission to post this video.

"However, if you think you can replicate their work through the components you get from SparkFun plus your Commodore 64, have at it." <--- Don't tempt me.
That particular video was actually created to pitch the exec producer of a prime-time TV show who wants to incorporate the technology into some story lines, so they were just having fun. The underlying technology is more subtle - they're managing 10+ robots, doing sensor fusion, integrated through various user interfaces.
