Robots That Will Own You

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 Big Dog From Boston Dynamic’s web site: “BigDog is the stuff that is downright vile is the supposed danger of them. web site : “BigDog is the closest I have no pity – Carl It is a quadruped robot that walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. BigDog is powered by a human enemy.The SS waverly is decaying and sad, its only crew is small crabs and spiders, with the most, ordered from most to least familiarity: Languages: Python, Javascript, Java, shell, Go. 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 like drug companies come out just in time for the foil hats has increased considerably. 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 harm it can talk to other internet networks like Revision3 and Twit.tv where they can be self hosted. Check it out:
Robotic Exosuit
This robotic exoskeleton designed by Forms + Surfaces, which functioned much better liquid! 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 later versions ever managed to get going again, because its getting colder and colder and colder and colder the farther you go.
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 you liked it too.
