Boston Dynamic's BigDog Quadruped robot is pretty amazing...

Categories: Technology

It's pretty cool to see this kind of robotics in motion. This is definitely something you want to watch all the way through. The highlights for me were watching it regain it's balance after being shoved and after slipping on ice. It's also pretty cool to watch it run and jump. It's pretty spooky just how close it looks like a quadpedal creature.

Jim Priest's Gravatar Wow. That's really impressive... They need to work on the sound though. That's buzzing is too dang creepy...
Dan G. Switzer, II's Gravatar @Jim: I agree that the motor on the generator is annoying. They really should have just removed the audio from the video track altogether.
Jim Priest's Gravatar And replaced it with some Iron Maiden :)
Santiago Sanchez Rivera's Gravatar Those guys don’t understand the real beauty of this robot. The fact that human can build and programming an autonomous robot that can walk like a dog is really amazing. Visit http://www.bdi.com for more information.
