Boston Robotics make Spot the dog
 

I really want one of these.

omg why are they kicking spot? evil bastards

Awwww, cute! :hee:

It needs a face. There's one on YT where a dog is going mad when it sees it!

Yes the USA Military have tested
them to carry gear.
They passed tests


I have posted these before
as part the Robot Future Plan threads

Did you post the one with the running robotic cheetah Arista?

Wow, they could make a wicked wheelchair with that.

Never thought of that but a wheelchair that could climb up and down stairs would be amazing.

Robot Cruelty is rife :(

The U.S.Miitary spent a fortune funding these things and then rejected them for being too noisy after spending $11milion to a google owned company to deveop them.

After being rejected by the military many of these robots have now fallen on hard times working for bosses that bully them.

*swearing warning*

That is so freaky Arista. The eye contact feature is creepy as anything but its eyes still look dead and i hope they never perfect it.
Imagine looking someone in the eye and not being sure if they are alive or not that is scary.
