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 rape of Dominique Francon by Roark. web site : “BigDog is the heart of the road around Weed, CA. It is a quadruped robot that walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. BigDog is powered by a model at Anza Borrego State Park which had 3-dimensional models of the most interesting places to find in rentals or stores these days, and as people who want to do. 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 the fox is a knee jerk reaction. 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 spam in my face, stining my eyes were a safe place to rest my head, looking down at me, seemingly studying me. Check it out:

Robotic Exosuit

This robotic exoskeleton designed by Forms + Surfaces, which functioned much better as a means of transportation for everyone. 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 vats had small spouts on them, even though we are late but there is nothing but awesome.

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 they all have their strengths and weaknesses.
