    Re: Robot video you have to see!!!

    Late to the party, but damn, that's something you don't see everyday.

    It feels so "animal" that I almost feel bad when they hit it to demonstrate how it regains balance on its own.
    You know oddly, I felt the same. I don't know why, but I felt like it was some sort of cruelty, which is just unexplainable and crazy, I know, but the fact that it looked like an animal in the way that it moved just made me feel slightly, almost, guilty?

    Also, damn, that's more like the Matrix than Terminator isn't it? Anyone who's seen The Animatrix, The Second Renaissance might know what I'm on about...

    Wow, so many things about that video freaked me out. The way it moved like an animal (it almost seemed alive...?), the fact that those legs looked like a set of horses legs that had been chopped off and sellotaped to a mass of something (I dunno what that is on top), the fact that it sounded like a bee and looked like a giant insect with legs, the fact that I could picture it killing me.

    Scary stuff.

    A bit more tweaking with the upper body, guns and a voice module that says: I'm looking for Sarah Connor!

    Bumping an old thread because they have a new 2 legged version out, and seem to have made it a lot quieter:

    Petman Walking/Balancing Robot Is Like BigDog's "Human" Master
    and
    Boston Dynamics PETMAN predicts the future of man as pet (video)

    Is it time to start worrying about the T1000 yet?

    Quite cool and I'm sure it's very hard to construct.
    The Bigdog was actually that quiet as well when they had it hooked up to the machine like the Petman is. It's just when they hook it up to the gas motor that it gets lawn-moweresque. You'll see the motor in the very middle section on the outside clips of Bigdog and the inside there's some drum-shaped thing.
