The BigDog Robot

Khaade · 03-27-2008, 11:54 AM

Meet BigDog. Its a robot. And it's kinda scary. Nor does it really look like a dog. Though the concept of it is actually quite amazing. It walks around, can climb over stuff, and has a rather good balance.

You can check him out here.

Theres also a "Early Beta" video of him here. I must say. I was laughing pretty hard.

Since the site I'm linking off of updates rather frequently, links may or may not change. I'll try to stay on top of it to make sure they keep working.

That's actually pretty cool. Also the early beta vid... tricky tricky!

Looks like the metal gears in the new MGS game.

Imagine that thing carrying a chainsaw and chasing you through the woods. Damn.

Anyone else laugh out load when the guy kicked it and it was struggling to get up? Is it right to feel bad after for laughing?
