Creepy, Cool, Headless 4-Legged Robot

I’ve seen all kinds of robot prototypes and experiments that mimic animals of one sort or another.  But “BigDog” from the geniuses at Boston Dynamics takes the cake.  Actually, if BigDog wants my cake, he can have it, while I run for the exits. He’s so cool, he’s kind of creepy.  He trots around like a prancing horse going for the Blue Ribbon, but there’s just something about its leg movement that unsettles me.  But I love it!  He’s kind of like the Energizer Bunny, in that he’s just keeps going and going.  He runs on snow, climbs up rocks and even jumps.  I hope I don’t have nightmares tonight.

Great article. Well written, this will certainly help.

No robot, only human!

I found it facinating when the one guy actually KICKED the thing in the side, and it KEPT IT’S BALANCE!!!  I’d like to see Asimo do that!
