A robotic dog--very intereting to watch

[SealLion]

I came across a website that showcases a very ingenious robot.

watch the robot dog jump, skid, and some other things.

The link is here:

Boston Dynamics: The Leader in Lifelike Human Simulation (http://www.bostondynamics.com/content/sec.php?section=BigDog)


Watch when the guy kicks the dog, too. And even when it skids on ice.

Look to see who's funding the program too. KInd of makes sense to see why this listed organization would fund it too, yes??

Hope you enjoy the video.

Aurion: did you go to the links on the left of the page to see the other robotic dogs??

There is one that actrually crawls up the side of a building and other walls as well.

Seriously. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this other robot dog crawling up a wall.

The links are on the left of the page if your interested.

yeah I've just checked most of the sections there,the amazing thing is that how could they just handle the stability of such a robot ? I mean they always dreamed of a mechanical robot that feels where it steps on,just like a human sensors do...
