Big Dog

Post by Reise »

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.

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.

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.
