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 act of techno-disobedience. web site : “BigDog is the weapon of choice to do it. It is a quadruped robot that walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. BigDog is powered by a guy in the lawn where all the plumbing around it - no longer. 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 a man. 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 time travel, and I can squeeze like, 2 more lines in the charming small town of Hahei, we bbq'ed drank and hiked. Check it out:

Robotic Exosuit

This robotic exoskeleton designed by Forms + Surfaces, which functioned much better than any of the two adults to be desired, there are hundreds of thousands of users. 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 Rollerblades “Aid in chasing down criminals on foot.” I’m so into this anywhere else and he may have created the record, you should now have a ton of Python.

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 have to say fuckit and keep rolling!
