Scary Boston Dynamics Big Dog

An exercise in what? – why reinvent the Dog/Goat, they’re perfect already. As a demonstration of advanced robotics, impressive, but I bet it can’t jump up on your bed and go to sleep in the warmest spot, or look at you with big pleading eyes

Whippets rule, O.K.?

You’re sleeping with goats? 😮

Wow! Moves like a goat.
Bring in a sound engineer before fielding it to make it sound more masculin 😀 !

Its an amazing piece of kit isn’t it, i beleieve the noise is because of the gas powerplant or something, some guy on another forum used to be on the project a few years ago or something and he was explaining about how power is the weak link at the moment, in the test lab its not very loud because it runs on offboard power. He also linked to another really cool little robot, i will go find a link to it and paste it in, its possibly just as cool as bigdog is but tiny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIuRVr8z_WE there ya go, enjoy.

Boston Dynamics dedicated to science and Art of How Things Move. They got that wrong then!:rolleyes: sounds like a radio controlled car gone wrong.
