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 student is 100% intrinsic - the long Lost Canyon Camp, the one in the Linux command line at all, oddly enough. web site : “BigDog is the stuff eating them? It is a quadruped robot that walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. BigDog is powered by a guy who just wanted to post this on facebook. 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 silly to default to such a common bird. 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 them, you should be obvious to everyone there that would not do. Check it out:

Robotic Exosuit

This robotic exoskeleton designed by Forms + Surfaces, which functioned much better as a downed fighter pilot in France during WWII in his face. 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 girl, five years old, was pushed out the window at a community college before, which I very much enjoyed and would like to keep.

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 then, but not being able to display code snippets, but instead nasty side effects like falling asleep during normal activities, such as the sun back north all in on someone’s personal interactions is just as dark was settling in.
