Advances in Robotics

That was INCREDIBLE. At first, I was like... eh, no biggie. Watching the whole thing though and I was floored. It actually moves like a living creature.

Leonardo would be proud. 🙂

Man, learning to make machines emulating nature's creatures.

What is so amazing is the fact that it maintained it's center of gravity when the guy tried to push it over.

Still trying to figure out wat it is LOL

That and that patch of ice

I walk like that when I'm drunk.

I don't think it really matter's what it's suppose to be as long as the tech work's properly.

I live in Canada and drunken stumble is the norm so i really didn't pick up on that right away.Thank's for pointing that out.

Cygnus walks like that sober 😈

That was amazing. I think we are looking at prototype for the first robotic mailman. Neither Rain nor sleet nor dark of night ....

mAmA

I'll be impressed when I see it swim and catch a Frisbee.

I am waiting for the female human version. without voice.

LOL with the comments so far.

I think the intent is to design a robo-mule that could follow troops over terrain wheeled vehicles couldn't go. The power plant is a bit noisy, sounds like a chainsaw motor. It did remind me of a swarm of flies though. Always a problem with real mules. 🙂

Imagining the programming that went into that. Detect slip and put the legs in the right spot to counter it. Detect tip or push and react to it like a reflex. Pretty hard jobs when you think about them. Organic creatures have the reflexes and wetware built in. 🙂

If I seen it in the woods I'd have to shoot it
