Boston Dynamics (DARPA) BIGDOG Robot

[ariannus95]

fa impressione!!! O.O oggi a scuola ne abbiamo parlato!!

[Lemaure44]

Very impressive.

We are witnessing the beginnings of a revolutionary technology.

all asshole here

[vicoy123]

its looks like a retard and sounds like a retard

[TheIanMac42]

Creepy how organic it looks when it slips

[siggisaggamund]

it will have rocket at shoot at you

[RialtoWolf]

WHAAT!! THE! FUUUCK!!!!!! D: I am officially TERRIFIED!

[DJParkesie959II]

For some reason it reminds me of Metal Gear Solid 4, lol.

[Archy11102]

BEHOLD! These are first steps towards making cybernetic dog Chitzkoi :D Well this DARPA is surely big fan of Westwood's game Red Alert. There's another video of Iron Curtain and we can safely assume that somewhere soldier Volkov is being made XD HAARP is somewhat close to Weather Control Device and I wonder when the Chronosphere will become reality.

[Maplesyrup41]

fucking silent hill right there

[Yubel0]

Now all it needs is a 340 machine gun on its back.

[slayyer000]

Ya DARPA is dangerous! they are making crazy shit like this now, imagine what they will make in the future and this isn't only for the "enemies" they are making shit that can kill us to do what the government says, ya I know sounds crazy but its fucking true. we are fucked.

[Tenzinpelha]

and here i thought my computer was loud. 

[Squidemabob]

This thing is awesome!!

[weezul]

the stuff of nightmares

[jeloopa]

someone at DARPA has watched Star Wars a few too many times. With sexy results! :D

[sinfetic]

It looks like a drunkard! But sitll, an amasing achivement!!! :O)

[dazzlaa]

Totally amazing!

[Mraajdar]

does it play music? to cover that awful sound? does it make milkshakes?

[funkmasterfletch08]

this looks badass, it took a kicking and kept on ticking

[Idiotsmakemesad]

Its incredible how alive it looks, you actually feel sorry for it. I sure hope it doesn't have a dog brain inside it.

[chapinfeliz]

the noise is annoying !!!! But is funny as shit

[YensidFreak11]

This thing is just creepy

[1stchampagan]

I can save the US government $32 million dollars by using just four little words; just use a donkey...

[CuervoBlack06]

@1stchampagan Donkeys get shot and die. They spook real easily and will run off at the drop of a hat at the sound of an explosion. Do you really want to chase after that thing when you're getting shot at? Donkeys/Mules/Camels are known to be stubborn creatures at times, and will not go with you if they don't feel like it. Do you know how much it costs to train, feed, each and everyone of those damn things? And what if one or the entire pack of Donkeys/Mules/Camels get sick and die, what then?

[1stchampagan]

@CuervoBlack06

Here's another four words to help ease your dilemma my friend; two earplugs. The third word is carrot and the forth word is stick.

[CuervoBlack06]

@1stchampagan You can put all the earplugs in, they will still run from sensing a shock wave from the explosion, or bullets whizzing by them. Are you forgetting animals senses are more heightened than ours? Second, you can wave all the carrots, oats, grains, and beat it as much as you want, but like I said, if it doesn't want to go, it wont go. All it will do, is pull in the opposite direction that you are, and maybe even buck all over the place, possibly kicking you in the process.

[1stchampagan]

@CuervoBlack06

More problems eh? well, personal that drift too close could use armor plating to prevent mule kickage, i also would not rule out the potent combination of drug therapy to achieve full donkey complience and the regular promise made to crazied burro (as you describe) that a beautiful garden paradise awaits them if they catch a whizzy bullet. A paradise full of fresh hey, juicey carrots, lovely lady mules. Two final words, you might want to research however, preindustrial warfare.

[ShadowFoxSF]

I would like to see this technology used to make robot animals for movies and robot pets :D

[Screeaw]

Holy Crap

[effrin999]

these are the riot police of the future that the world government will use against its citizenry....mark these words.....Its up 2 hackers to disable them

[virgildog1950]

@effrin999 Resenting technological progression is not only foolish, but also futile. Even if you do succeed, eventually some one else will continue what you thought you had prevented.

Not only that, but your belief that the world government wants to "use [the BIGDOG Robot] against its citizen[s]" is definitely incorrect. If the world government ever did try that, there would most certainly be an uprising; what's the point in ruling a world with only you in it?

-Mike

[tomcornhole]

@virgildog1950 duhhhhhhh

the kooks are saying the robots will be USED to COTAIN

the uprising.

duhhhhhh

[virgildog1950]

@tomcornhole I'm arguing against effrin999's idea; why are you saying "duhhhhhhh" ?

[tomcornhole]

@virgildog1950 i'm sorry.

perhaps it was a mis-communication.

i meant to say D-a-a-a-a-h-h-h-h-h-r-r-r-r-r-­r-r-r.

[effrin999]

@tomcornhole Virgil doesnt get it, we dont resent technology, we resent the people who who will sick these creations on us to contain us like u said. this robot is an extension of water spray tear gas canons. Look at the G20,Virgil this contraption is the riot cops of the future

[tomcornhole]

@virgildog1950 " no Doi"

[paddytheduck]

Fist FEMA has nothing to do with big dog

And second you can not mount a gun on it unless you what a very bad aim.

And third the us army already has robotic drones for use on the ground

[nasonguy]

I swear, if I saw this thing coming across my land, I'd go get the AK...

[devinhesterchitown23]

holy crap its like the gekko in metal gear solid 4!

[katanas1]

@devinhesterchitown23

i wont be surprised if gekkos exist in 20 or 30 years from now

[msrattlespaces]

Can u imagine a force of these things we must have dozens now equipt of course

androids are the next big project.....

[DrewBlank025]

Quick, protect John Conner!

[Uroshio]

Those legs just creep me out...

[arealbladeofgrass]

Iwant one for christmas

[GwaiLowX]

I think i seen Solid Snake in one of the videos hidding behind a tree

this thing worries me

[towdow3]

LOOK OUT, ITS METAL GEAR REX!!

[shadowgames824]

can you imagin this shit running after you!! omg!!

[paddyskate]

at 1:34 it just looks like 2 people inside of something

[Zestava]

@paddyskate but there not

[XXXREDROOMXXX]

Can it throw a log on the fireplace?

[joshuasammy]

is that the noise it makes? if it is ill have something to blow it up cuz i can hear it 3 miles away

[BaronRogoff1]

A robot "baby" taking it's first steps or the end of our world as we know it?

[towdow3]

@BaronRogoff1 both.

[MrsFizgig]

It's freaky and cool at the same time O.O

[mmmanny123]

all it needs now is a .50 caliber machine gun a rocket launcher and jets so it could fly

[KazuoKiriyama666]

DARPA Chief Donald Anderson...died from a heart attack...oh wait!

[Truther42]

Welcome to the future of FEMA and robotic weapons used against our own American people.

[ma0ma0ma0]

@Smkiller lol

[ma0ma0ma0]

@Smkiller ever heard of cgi faggot

[ma0ma0ma0]

@Smkiller the legs are tiny its probly 2 children and they could definately fit in that

[Anodai]

ZZZZZzzzzzZZzZZZZZzZZZZZZzzzzZ­ZZ!

[scottnjulie08]

wat a weird fukin machine...2 guys in a suit ? hahaha ..what a wanger

[viralarchitect]

Excellent idea for getting supplies across terrain without putting lives at risk. Mount a sensory machine gun on there and you've got yourself a walking killing machine.

[amelancer]

Would be faster and cheaper to use a horse for those tasks.

[lannie1875]

@amelancer well they usually use a donkey...and it often gets killed. Can't kill a robot.

[ma0ma0ma0]

FAKE they proved it on mythbusters its 2 guys in a suit

[C18Gold]

@ma0ma0ma0 Lol why would that be fake? As if this was impossible.. lol

[Probeshorts]

Yeah, and it can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

[kdavidmcd]

Eventually, that thing will have a nuclear power cell, be walking on two legs with a steel human-like skeleton, with a Metal Storm gun( look up "Metal Storm") for one arm and a steel human hand for the other, the eyes would obviously glow red and have every kind of sensor possibly known to man. To take it a step further, they already have the stuff to make synthetic human skin. Technology moves pretty fast and I just noticed this was vid posted in 08.

[kazor444]

das ist der krasseste roboter den ich je gesehen habe. ich sag nur : the termiator is comming!

[xboy105]

scary but cool! kinda reminds me of those jackals off of Dark Sector and of the hunters off of Half Life 2. its wierd how both of those names are also from Halo...

[rumoroo]

Man I love this thing! It can deliver "mail" to terrorist HQ's LOL

[caramujo123]

looks like a drunk stag

[LIFESaREALLYlongGAME]

its amazing the way it can correct itself so quickly to stop prevent falling over

[DINGOMATTER]

it somewhat reminds me of a geko from metal gear solid 4 but like a small 4 legged version

[SpicedNoob]

just make it a lot bigger and its the start of a real AT-AT

[RaynorX]

When I first saw that thing I thought it it had human legs sticking out of it

[MrEmilyRose]

I actully felt bad for it when it slipped on ice. :[

[xboy105]

i felt bad when that guy kicked it

[perreterecon]

@MrEmilyRose poor robot, me also fell bad, but is fucking amazing how it recobers from kick

[lbchuma]

@MrEmilyRose funny< i just had that same feeling! what's that mean?

[msrattlespaces]

@MrEmilyRose if they used lazers on the bottom of its feet it could defeat that problem

[djnelsonmaxmix]

looks like 2 dogs facing each other but no arms and heads SCARY and scary noise I DONT LIKE not even for free!!! may be tha second model looks like a real dog, i think they are working on it all ready

[ccalvinn27]

that robot is increadibly smart :O

[EmperorofCartoons]

LOL that guy at 0:36 just kicking the shit out of it is epic.

One day BIGDOG's more advanced descendants covered in titanium battle armor and sporting heavy automatic artillery is gonna remember Mr. Hahaikickedtherobot there and decide its payback time on the human race.

[CHANDSOME]

Wow!! This is impressive and yes, a *little* creepy! :-D

[kawless]

Looks more like a giant housefly lol

[MsTheGMan]

hahahhah HL2 Episode2 DOG :P

[henik9]

I'd be terrified if I saw that thing coming at me!!

[DEMONDAY]

this may sound retarded, but is BIGDOG powered by a "gasoline engine"? on the count that it makes that buzzing sound.

[Mister86Productions]

Yes, that's what I said. The ammount of noise the alternator makes along with the fan is great. Also, compare when the BigDog is rigged up with the power cables and when it wasn't and being powered by its engine. Unfortunatly, they didn't use a hydrogen dempression cell instead they use gasoline. Not only will hydrogen run on and on for a great time but it's also quiet and doesn't burn, meaning no emissions.

[newengland72]

2-Stroke!

[ManintheArmor]

That is the creepiest thing I've ever seen. The buzzing noise, the careful movements, the deer-like leap, the fast recovery, the stability...

It feels as though I'm looking at some alien animal from a far away planet.

[3312cdfp5674]

this thing is awesome

[jason85321]

hmmm...does anyone remember the book ferenheit 451???

[MetalDominican]

@ 0:35 THIS...IS..SPARTAAAAAA *epic kick*

[raCteJ]

Looks like they modeled it after deer. o.o

[necrolet]

I wonder if a person could ride on that thing....

[TimmeHx2]

Is it just me or does any one else think we may get to see ATATs in our life time? :D

DARPA, the official technology of StarWars technology!

[raCteJ]

Heck, the technology's already there, it's just that it'd be laserless :P

[AudioInjectedSoul11]

if i saw that id shit my pants. its scary and makes wierd noises.

[xxsnowboarderxx21]

You dont understand how much I agree with you!

[dumbest1name1ever]

LMFAO, I probably would to though it is scary as hell.

[3312cdfp5674]

very creepy looking,

[gabe0083]

this thing is kinda scary....

[anko8aug]

it moves so life like awesome!

[mogul1265]

when he kicked that thing and it didnt fall, that some bullshit!! fuck this!

[hacelocononda]

Ok... I am wishing it to be open source.

[jamelb4]

crazy

[triplea007]

Say no to bionic robot abuse!

[TeVesMal]

that scares the fck out of me o.o

[themaster666able]

Soon Skynet will take over. and it will unite with the black mesa facility and take over the world.

[LlordHellmet]

not black mesa,aperture science

[asdfghjkl2222]

definitely black mesa

[mothermugger]

it's a fake it's two guys facing each other.

[dredogol]

No, this one is NOT the fake version.

The is the actual BigDog RC robot with auto stabilization.

We actually studied this in our AI class at our university. Pretty cool if you ask me.

[DJNitty]

when i saw this.. i thought.. HALF LIFE 2 xD

[jsoblink182]

this is scary ppl do you guys see how the government could use such technology...? they prolly have these fuckers already in the woods ready to hunt humans once martial law takes effect...=/

[Roovensally]

This this should be running on a Molecular Hydrogen fuel cell, not a Petrolium operated motor. That's why it's so damn' noisy! Sounds like a wasp.

[TAYLORT5]

+the guys that made it are prolly big SUV users too.

[Roovensally]

I wasn't making a beef about exhaust pollution. All I was saying was that from my knowledge of Energy Science, having hard body motors are not efficiant with mobile machines like these due to power limitations and stealth.

[TAYLORT5]

it's ok, I was just saying... the title says Boston Dynamics (DARPA) BIGDOG Robot

for Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency . why would they want something that makes that much noise.

[Roovensally]

Because they didn't think Hydrogen.

[jobney76]

I'm sure if they could build the all electric wired version (or is it hydraulic?) and the gas one that they did think of hydrogen. Getting the robotic systems working for testing is easier and cheaper with gas. Like when it nearly falls over. There is also already gas in the supply chain if they did keep it gas powered. I'm sure they would then develop some kind of muffler for it.

[asdfghjkl2222]

well we have a good AI going

[clonewars18]

Looks like the GEKKO from MGS4.

[sinisterking]

it kinda looks somewhat like crying wolf

[ducky923]

We are witnessing the next generation of weapons that are going to be used against us when this NWO shit goes down

[kyle2222222]

It is nuts how the recovery looks just like a bio. animal its scary and crazy.

[kyle2222222]

next they are going to make M.G. RAY lol

[usarmy86]

amazing.

[LeopardFrogPilboxhat]

well technically it doesn't make copies of itself

[unknotmiguel]

Thats scarying..

[JosvanEgmond]

If this thing has guns, I don't want to be anywhere near it in its attempt to walk over a pile of stones.

[xXSUCKMYLOCKXx]

Its Two FUCKING People Moving in A Suit!!!!

[omgtehcolors]

no.... it's not. that's whats TERRIFYING about it.

[makpantek]

fucking amazing! just when i thought japan was in the lead in robotic. This is more usefull than japanese robot to satisfy fetish needs.

[Felichedapony]

ROFL especially if you're into beehives

[TheBlitzgundam]

This is like a future weapon of war ir something. Looks really creepy. Imagine if that were place with guns, runs fast and runs at diferent directions.

[SweetFire96]

M.I.T. what a cesspool of creativity... woow i'm guessing in the wild here. Errm and heel yeah, the legs do look allot like those MGS 4 Bi-pedalled models.

[TheBestDayOfMyLife20]

Omg that is so cool! So life like exept it's legs bend backwards? lol

[spazz0id]

If you look at a dog, and even a human the limbs are the same. (if you go down on all fours, look at the bend in your elbow if you down flare your arms out, then the bend of your knee)

[PKAfroMonkey]

they way it regains itself is amazing, alil creepy too how life like the movement is but still astounding

[spazz0id]

I can't imagine the programing that went into just the simple balance recovery. Amazing!

[gormthedestroyer]

Can you imagine the psychological impact of a few hundred (Or thousand) of these things advancing on an enemy? Before you could see them, you could hear that damned noise, and you'd know that each one was loaded down with weapons, and had no fear of death... Yeah, scary as shit. That being said, I guess that 's the future of war. I suppose I'm glad we(The US) has them and not China or North Korea or somebody.

[5elin]

ugly as hell xD

[EphraimRodrigez]

reminds me to this walking robots from metal gear solid 4 ^^

[iNoNiMiZ]

Did you see how that thing got pissed and just started trippin' out.

'abc123unmegrrl' is right, we're about to get 1337 pwned XO

[cybersaur]

that thing looks and sounds creepy, it just looks wrong

[MerbStork]

Brilliant, create motor-powered animals to help our soldiers. Next we'll have BigCheetah that runs around and shit, then BigDragon with a flamethrower attached to it, a BigBee that flies...

It'll be a whole army of robot motherf*ckrs...

[wowshark]

i wanna one as hearing dog or working dog!

[gcastil]

These things are going to be able move faster and faster- they will be dropped from stealth blimps with optical camouflage and used to quell civic unrest in a city near year in 3 to 5 years.

[MechaBlazeEagle]

This is amazing! It'll obviously be quite helpful in carrying a foot soliders excess baggage/equipment.

[abc123unmegrrl]

heh....

WE

ARE

FUCKED!

you know there gonna get it to cheetah speeds and put guns on it and send it after us....we're all fucked hard...

[FreedomGotAnAK]

I'll be back.

[judasmesias4ever]

ok what the fuck? lol wow anyway i would burn the damn thing or at least kick it to death lol XD but that thing is like the fuckin future what next metal gear REX or RAY?

[k5lta]

ok that hopping scared the shit out of me cuz i imagined what if was chasing me.......0_0 im paranoid now!

[lakotadak]

scary

[rackas321]

If I saw that walking towards me i'd throw everything I could find at it.

[ReallyBored1991]

Man Whats Next GEKKOS,SCARABS,METAL GEAR, Its almost like MGS4

[IrishLincoln]

LOL

watch?v=VXJZVZFRFJc&feature=re­lated

[johnnyfuentes91]

thats the craziest shit i have ever seen how do they make it so animal-like?

[huricane887]

They research the cattle they mutilate for ideas for their projects that's how.I live right by a government base and all sorts of weird things happen around here.That pathetic thing in the video is nothing to worry about.Believe me the gov has worse tech than that tin can.

[jaydawgy84]

looks like a giant fly with no wings

[dankrug571]

That is scary as hell I hope I don't run into that thing!!!

[BadsandAndPyroman]

omfg, put some auto turrets on that shit, GAME OVER.

[FatherFalcone3]

and how does it fare against a sledgehammer?

[MechaBlazeEagle]

My opinion is that this is to carry a soliders excess equipment & not currently for combat purposes.

[FatherFalcone3]

it's actually 2 Ethiopians

[JustToWatchvids1]

i kinda felt sry for it when he kicked it xP

[Alaron251]

How does it balance itself like that! That is AMAZING.

[blodyninjaghost]

I would want tht as a pet :]

[KaosuKaiari]

Today the BIGDOG... Tomorrow, Metal Gear REX. Lol ensued.

[AndrewandKevin]

Thats what i was thinking... Kinda looks like a Gekko

[sh3lbyguy]

Reminds me of crying wolf from MGS4

[RiceCookah]

metal gear solid??

[Midna]

Scared the crap outta me!

[smiftie]

So well done..

Amazing work really.. the amount of effort gone into that thing!

[vimcrony]

Fucking creeeeeppyyyyy*

[StaticAssassin]

It's like a minature AT-AT
