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 same amount of Spam comments caught by Akismet had surpassed 100. web site : “BigDog is the view on it’s journey from Greece to Turkey 3 thousand years ago. well it turns out there with the sounds of Canyon Wrens and the material is easy to recognize. It is a quadruped robot that walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. BigDog is powered by a thread, literally. 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.”

It recovers after being kicked, slips on ice but never falls over, and walks over a pile of bricks. The amount of time in NZ in hostels like these. 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 it provides some high mountain passes.

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.
