Stl Bills Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 BigDog’s makers are working on a new quadruped that moves faster than any human and is agile enough to “chase and evade.” Pretty sure this is what Sarah Connor was all worked up about.

Booster4324 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) Pretty sure this is what Sarah Connor was all worked up about. Don't these guy think this through? Meet Atlas, Cheetah’s humanoid pal. Atlas is supposed to look more or less like the T-800 series of Terminators, minus the head. Its designers say it’ll be able to walk like a human over rough terrain, crawling on its hands and knees when necessary and turning itself sideways to slip through any narrow passages it encounters. Headless, with a torso and two arms, it’s a step up from Boston Dynamics’ other biped, the lower-body-bot Petman. This won't end well...

KD in CA Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) Awesome. Let's get about 1,000 of these things down to the boarder ASAP. Pretty sure this is what Sarah Connor was all worked up about. 1984: They look human... sweat, bad breath, everything. Very hard to spot. I had to wait till he moved on you before I could zero him. Look... I am not stupid, you know. They cannot make things like that yet. Not yet. Not for about 40 years. Sounds like they are right on schedule.
