Robot Dog

Big Dog Robot Dog

Quadruped robot dog ... interesting video. I first thought it had to be a joke. But I guess it's real. This is some amazing technology. At least - amazing for an old person like me.

Take a look. It kinda reminds me of I Robot.

Yeah, they've been working on this for quite awhile now; although, this is the first time I've heard of it being called "BigDog". IIRC, they were calling it a something like "RoboMule" beforehand.

If ya really wanna kick, check out the "Beta model"...





Edit: I see RabbitChaser linked to a thread of Mike's that I was unaware of; however, even Mike got scooped by a couple years. Like I said, they've been working on it for quite awhile now.
