Four-Legged Robot - BigDog Robot Army (VIDEO)
BigDog Robot Army
 Published: Aug 19, 07
Comments: 1 Views: 2,390

This is some of the freakiest robot video footage I’ve ever seen. Created by Boston Dynamics, The BigDog walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. I think it is so disturbing to me because it actually mimics a living organism. Initial applications would undoubtedly be military in nature. Yet more proof that robots are going to be a major part of our lives in the not-so-distant future.

BigDog is being developed by Boston Dynamics with help from Foster Miller, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the Harvard University Concord Field Station.Development is funded by the DARPA Defense Sciences Office. (trendhunter)
