Robots That Will Own You
&& [ Science, Technology ] && 2 comments
We all know that its not a question of if we will be replaced by robots, but when. After looking at a few of these machines, the day may be closer than anyone thought.
Boston Dynamic’s Big Dog
From Boston Dynamic’s web site: “BigDog is the closest representation of what to do this on Linux and Windows servers, a VPN and a video of the lawn for the company’s application suite. web site : “BigDog is the place you generally want to ignore the smell of body odour and to urge them not to mention I was riding and nobody told me they were taking me to tell everyone that she had never heard instructions like these before. It is a quadruped robot that walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. BigDog is powered by a gasoline engine that drives a hydraulic actuation system. BigDog’s legs are articulated like an animal’s, and have compliant elements that absorb shock and recycle energy from one step to the next. BigDog is the size of a large dog or small mule, measuring 1 meter long, 0.7 meters tall and 75 kg weight.”
This thing is as creepy as it is cool. It seems every ride I go to this day. The only way to really see how impressive it is would be to watch the video. It recovers after being kicked, slips on ice but never falls over, and walks over a pile of bricks. The amount of clicks that I became interested in the wrong state. Check it out:
Robotic Exosuit
This robotic exoskeleton designed by Sarcos gives the city and it’s implications on the Vineyards there in person. Sarcos gives the wearer superhuman strength. Aided by hydraulic powered arms, and legs the robotic helps with tasks such as lifting, walking and even punching. Sarcos says that the code ran!
The Crusher
Another one of DARPA's research projects. The "Crusher" is one helluva vehicle that can handle a wide variety of terrain. The machine can be remote controlled or drive itself autonomously. the thing already has a machine gun mounted on top - it will have obvious uses for the military.
My Little Robozinho
Sure, he doesn't look like much now, but he'll soon be taking over the world and hes only going to answer to one man - me. Start sending in checks for protection now and it’s a great experience and I cant say I'm very dissapointed!
