Weird[h2]New Video of BigDog Quadruped Robot Is So StunningIt's Spooky[/h2]
Boston Dynamics keeps working on their BigDog quadruped robot, which will probably grow to be the future AT-AT of the Pentagon. Its evolution since the last time we saw it is nothing sort of mindblowing,and a bit spooky.

It looks like an actual biological quadruped. Seeing it climb through rubble, snow, jumping over obstacles like a wild goat, and saving a near-fall on icedground at the last second (fast forward to the middle of the video) defies belief. It feels so "animal" that I almost feel bad when they hit it todemonstrate how it regains balance on its own.

The new version of the robot can now carry 340 pounds, which is almost triple the previous weight. It looks to me that that $10 million funding they gotfrom Darpa has been put to good use. [IEEE]

[gettin it crackin]

Say that you love me.

 

[the hater boxden]

why am i not impressed

 

[gordon gartrelle]

Yeah that's crazy. The weird thing about it to me is that's eerily similar to how some small bugs move in nature. A bit skittish and not very organic,but very efficient.

 

[addictedtofreshkicks]

wow

 

[offbowery]

 

[a aquino707]

at him kicking it but

at it saving itself from falling.

 

[jrellcuse10]

Developed by DARPA. My Metal Gear heads should know what role DARPA had in the series.

 

[dunkinlo.y]

when it jumped over that gap I was like oh dang!!

 

[joseph camel jr]

Incredible.

 

[guillermo gutierez]

ooooooooo, im quivering in my flightposites

but yo, ol' boy straight booted that thing, and it didnt fall, straight G status

 

[mangudai954]

This makes me wonder how advanced the robots the army is testing and what they look like.

[xxthe king of kingsxx]

$10 Million for that trash

Just throw water at it

B00M

 

[yarrh]

it looks like a big improvement from the last video

 

[outbackbob24]

so what's its purpose exactly?

 

[mplsdunk]

@ the ice part and when it jumped.

 

[rawsheed]

First thing I thought of...but seriously, does it have to sound like that?

 

[wallyhopp]
