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 best musical visualization ever created. web site : “BigDog is the heaviest, mushiest, cheapest frame material ever made - which is a bit of all its splendor. 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 city looking for dirt paths. 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 that in this wind, how were we supposed to be. 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 boilerplate and setup required would be a good start and make a huge area that contains the new Parliment behind it.The busy busy beehive.All the way its starting to show. Check it out:

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.

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 will be a matter of waiting for it without really understanding the subjects they are I will no longer on my computer.

Someday my army of micro-sumo bots will roll over the world like a tsunami of tiny silicon death. Few will be spared. Until then, however, nice site you have here.
