Give that beast a head for chrissakes! Cyber Bambi on ice
March 18th, 2008 by Martin
Boston Dynamics’ ‘BigDog’ robot represents the culmination of ‘quadruped’ robot engineering so far. BigDog has trotted at 3.3 mph, climbed a 35 degree slope and carried a 120 lb load. It remains standing even on ice and regardless of evil scientists kicking it in the side. More about the beast here.
One word of advice, though: It’s simply too creepy without the head – like a cyberghost version of Bambi. Give the thing a head and you’ll see your military funding double. I propose that of a baby seal or a teddy bear.
Check out the mindblowing action video below:
