BDI just released a new video of the Big Dog on ice and snow, and also demoing its walking gait. From Gizmodo: 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 iced ground 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 to demonstrate 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 got from Darpa has been put to good use. [IEEE] More»
Who felt sorry for it when the guy kicked it at 0:36?
I know he's just demonstrating its amazing reactive balance, but still, they need to develop it so that it can kick back!
this looks like something out of a metal gear game
the leg shape and all.
when will this technology be available for disabled people? That`s what I wonder. Will be the heaven for most of them
By emux49 1206388239 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethats amazing - but its name is big dog but it sounds and looks like a fly why is that? l am shure the army will find many ways for it to kill people useing this !!!
By tellak 1205991337 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removesurely for man killing machine, its funded bt them.
By pinoybigbrother 1205997000 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyes, the enemy will probobly get scared by that awfull noice!
Who would stand being around that?
I think my 6 yr old could out-run it ( or hide under it)
By JonnyBadde 1206122317 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI thought the same thing! And the video looks digitally altered.
Let's keep in mind that when astronuats are blasted into space they wear depends until the reach orbit. They aren't as advanced as most people would like to believe. They are doing amazing stuff, don't get me wrong. They just don't waste money as much they use to.
Know what they use to repair the tiles in space? A tool from the paint department.
And, they never go into "outer space" only to our outer atmosphere.
The pens are great you can buy them in the NASA's gift shop.
That is just down right creepy.

By Mad Knack 1206395685 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWell let me share a joke.. once the us had a problem with pens not working in the space.. They made years research spending millions to make a pen that worked in space.. The Russians were working with pencils.. GET some tank wheels.. its called catterpilar
By coltakias1 1206035662 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI see your point ,but do caterpillar tracks have the capability of jumping mines?
By millionlux 1207323507 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe story about the Fisher pen and how the russian worked with a much less expensive pencil its an urban legend.
that is amazin, see wot the future holds but if sum1 seen this in the woods they would shait there self!
By jason mcb 1205989861 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeseems like it can carry heavy load, or the current ROV couldn't cope with different terrain? just my opinion..

By thebest#1 1207060558 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe noise is probably from a small gas motor that powers the beast. It can be used for recon missions, can carry a weapon or just shuttle supplies through a danger zone. Great invention. Needs a face on it.

Lastimosamente lo unico que se les ocurre a muchos esque pueda servir de instrumento de guerra;que verguenza da saber que ese instinto bestial esta a flor de piel en muchos seres humanos.Felicito a los que pensaron que podria servir de protesis para bien del hombre.
By palito06 1206595487 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethose who mentioned apparently were not able to grasp that the engine used to power this development platform is only temporary, so the noise you hear is not relevant. The dollars are being spent on the robotic controls, and the results have been very impressive so far.

Será increible cuando reduzcan el tamaño, el consumo y lo hagan con solo dos piernas para que una persona que haya perdido la movilidad pueda de nuevo andar indicando instrucciones simplemente conectando la máquina al cerebro, será la era de los cyborgs!!
Robots are evolving at an impressive rate.
By NITEBREED 1206325623 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThis is the best AI I've seen yet. Like to see what it'll do when it falls down, how does it get up?
The acceleration sensor in this thing is awesome! I want to get one!!
Finally, a background music to the clip will be nice.
Es totalmente increible!!!!!!!
By Jonigigolo 1206282902 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removewell maybe we can see the born of terminator, later that crap starts to kill humans. My question is, who has to be the first human to die with this junk? has to be with machine gun or laser gun? who knows but its true one day this thing has to kill humans.
