Anyone else amazed by this quadruped robot with insane balance?

Code: Select all

A group named Boston Dynamics built it. It's just awesome to watch, let alone see what they plan to do with it.

I noticed the front legs are patterned to a person walking backwards and the back legs are patterned to a person walking forward. And it walks like a newly born horse.

With it's speed right now. The enemies will notice that coming from a mile away.

You think with military funding it will stay the same speed?

No that's why I said "right now". God this machine can be the future suicide bomber. Or a thing like in the stealth movie.

Kind of reminds me of the thing in Half-Life 2, I think it was called Dog...

It's probably more difficult to create a true quadruped than to link up two bipeds. I would imagine that they are working towards horse-like joints, and this is just a step in the process.

Not me. The robot reminds me of headcrabs from HL2.

I love the fact that you can kick it with all your might and make it look funny at the same time and the robot will still not fall

And if you look at it through the front it looks like theres 2 people inside of it walking.
