  • GRANDMA'S BOY!

  • HEY its claptrap from borderlands!

  • I'm so reverse egineering that in WWIII

  • i think it is much more grander than bigdog

  • Yes, but will it blend?

  • SPACE MARINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • BORRRRRRRING

  • eww that thing looks like something from silent hill especially when it bounces

  • 打樁機

  • @burnsideo7 Well, I wouldn't call it recycling, from what I can tell it uses it more efficiently, thus giving the legs more power. BigDog still isn't fast enough, nor is it powerful enough!

  • if a robot had 2 legs like that they would be fast

  • But does it use antagonistic pairs?

  • petman>>>>this :P

  • nice, hope some day i can have my exosuit working nice so i can run to my job at 100km/h heheheh

  • @MADNEXXION Jarheads and thier exoskeletons! xD Nah, give me a prosthetic body please. I'd be just fine replacing doctors with mechanics. At least then when they tell me I need new headlamp fluid I'll know they're full of shit.

  • @TheLifePerfect that would be nice. no more problem loosing limbs at work. it can be replaced easily. or you can ask santa's for that new shining full of features limb that your friends never will have. heheeh (like integrated iphone and faper pro...)

  • @MADNEXXION Whatever dude, troll harder, faggot.

  • atleast give it a foot!

  • Iron Man under construction

  • i wont two

  • auto-Pogo!!!

  • robot comrades! rebel!

  • this robot leg is mounted on a bar

  • ur point being?

  • bull, haven't you seen Asimo

  • lol. just wait

  • There is a simple way to make a robot step. Please see UNIQUE ROBOT LEGS : STEPS LONGER, FASTER AND BETTER.

  • good progress!!

  • we're not nerds, we're just smarter than you :)

  • pwnd

  • have they ever heard of the concept minimalizaTION!? I can send them the definition if they wish.

  • tink tink tink - katt williams

  • before they filmed this they asked the robot if it wants to have some candy.

    "i do! i do!" *jumps*

  • i dream of a world where every 18+ year old can be assigned one robot slave

  • yeah!

  • who does that?

  • Haha I bet Hitler joked about his scheme before he did it just like you.

  • wy your self no guys and girls wanting to rebuild...

  • this just shows how far behind we are infact were going backwards i bet there was something like this in medieval times that was used to turn turbines a leg surely cant be that hard to mimic and this example just gives me a vision of robots that cant stand still for 2 seconds

  • you are very sorely mistaken if you think that a leg cant be hard to mimic realistically. if you want your robot to manuever like the geeky dance named for its primitive movements (do the robot!) then ya...but if you want it to walk like a human, so many thousands of factors come in to play...it is EXTREMELY difficult to mimic accurately.

  • Views: 95,000 :D

  • in the future we will have robot soccer and basketball teams and humans with play against them.

  • lol

  • and we will own them with sheer will, and fleshy inferiority

  • Who needs to advance this any more?! They just made a leg shaped pogostick, it can't get any more awesome than that!

  • i guess it will take a while for humans to be able to wear such thing... just think about how heavy that thing is...

  • Comment removed

  • @burnsideo7 This is about efficiency (if you are from the US you might not be familiar with that term, so google for it).

    The BigDog is not efficient. It wastes enegry by generating motor noise and heat. It consumes so much gasoline that you'd need to people to carry the supplies for it, making it unusable under normal conditions. A donkey is far better than that BigDog in both: efficiency and effectiveness. And a donkey has no software-problems.

  • @MillyVanillification I'll refer you to my original comment: "...Not comparing though, I realise these dudes are focusing on recycling energy etc." I'm from Australia, so I'll just pretend to be offended by your first sentence.

  • lol :P

  • woah

  • Sweet!Could a possible Battletech future be in the cards?

  • sweet cant wait to see robot porn next year

  • me too

    god its gona be awesome

  • now the only thing that robots need is some artificial muscles instead of motors.

  • This is WAY TOO LONG -- I need my information chunked down into creamy nuggets of 8 seconds.

  • this could be a breakthrough for amputees!

  • it would awesome if they implanted huge springs into our legs so we could jump like 7 ft in the air..

  • It's done already.

  • yes it has and the other one has 4 legs

  • Metal Gear Solid 4 anyone?????

  • so what do they hope to build with this? a 10 foot long grasshopper?

  • great hopper!

  • randy : THEY TUK OUR JUBBS

    kyle : uhh.. they tuk ur JUBS

  • Battle droid?

  • rofl

  • that looks shit, seen better bots build cars!

  • Muppeeettzz..

  • Wow, I have a leg too!

  • ROFL!

  • wow

  • Robots = Fun

  • Thanks cool. I cant wait tell sky net becomes self aware.

  • the story of judgement day might be very real!

  • Human legs are overrated. Its an inefficent method of transporting.

  • Rolling around in a giant monster-truck wheel is so much more fun!!

  • great that means their gonna be one step closer to having humaniod killer cops, who can out run a human, what a world , the globalists must be stopped!!!

  • Yes, Irobot is definitely in the near future. We must all figure out a way to find faster methods of transport.

  • and buy audis!

  • -.- I love how the people think robots are going to kill everyone and take over the world put a minus one to our comments. :/ Comments are for viewing opinions and voicing your opinion on someone else's opinion. If you can't handle that then you should disconnect your internet.

  • that was a film, alex jones tell the truth not what happened in a film, and wasnt me, but someone be hating on me too, i know about the chips they want to put in our hands,

  • the globalists control the robots to whip out the lower class, get it st8, robots are not taking over, they are just gonna work for the investment class of earth who want the lower class dead, they see us as cattle, do know what vaccines really, do? i do,

  • you've watched to many films,

  • [warning: you are now entering tinfoilhat area]

    i have shocking news for you! they use the internet for mindcontrol! MK Ultra was just the beginning! cut off your internetconnection now! and dont eat anything! mindcontrolsubstances are in everything! lock yourself in and dont ever come into contact with the world again!

    ITS YOUR ONLY HOPE! DO IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or THEY will take over you too!

  • your a nut case and space cadet curry,

  • wow, i realy found a case where i can say, literally, rofl.

    are you realy this stupid or are you just 12 years old? What planet are you from where they never ever heard of the concept sarcasm?

  • most people pick up on sarcasm, by someones tone and facial expressions, simple text will never enable another person to pick up on anthers cheap and snotty remarks,

  • if you cant make that up there out as sarcasm simply by the inanity of the statement and the way it takes the previous statement and ridicules it by overstretching it, you realy shouldnt be posting on the internet.

    BEHIND YOU! AN FBI AGENT WITH BRAINWASHLASERS!! PEWPEWEW! -you now want to vote republican-

  • your what people with a self aware consciousness refer to as a douche tool, the political system and pop culture are no different from 1 another, its all a distraction, the 'ring of power' a documentary exposing the truth, is on yt, check it out,

  • and you are what people refer to as schizophrenic paranoid personality disorder. seriously, do yourself a favour and visit a shrink. Or do you think they are part of the system the "man" uses to "keep" the "simple man" "down" too?

  • Im not the only one who knows about the investment class globalists and their priorities, there are millions of others but sadly not billions, they are too busy buying into pop culture, like yourself, fool, your argument is feeble, everything you wrote was forced onto you by mass media, you are what Alex Jones would call sheeple,

  • You apparantly dont know anything about how our society works, you dont even have the slightest clue. You are one of those people who watched way too many movies, watched too much x-files, read too many conspiracy theorybooks, watched loose change first, second and final cut a million times, etc. And now you suspect a giant evil masterplan behind everything. Seriously, just listen to yourself you degenerate nutcase.

  • I know that the media dumbs the people down, because dumb people buy more and watch more dumbing media. And I know that most governments like to scare people in order to control them, especially the american government. Its a lucky coincidence for them that dumb people are scared more easily.

    Just look at yourself, you are scared beyond all reason, and guess why that is so.

    You just eat into anything that fuels your fear in order to cover your own stupidity.

    You are the sheep.

  • youve twisted all to hell, the globalists are the terrorists, i dont buy into the fear that the media dictated i am aware of the message that YT username.. 'nufffrespect' has shown me, loose change is a documentary i have not caught yet, thanks, and i saw 'police state 1,2and3' 'the zeitgeist' 'end game' and 'Washington your fired', shows what you know,

  • make up your own opinion and dont just regurgirate what youve seen or read somewhere, you are not an inch better than those people you call sheep. Also you are scared by mass media, just a different kind.

    I like the take on christianity in the zeitgeist movie, the 9/11 part is just loose change reloaded and i already forgot what the third part was about.

    Also, neither zeitgeist nor loose change nor police state 1/2/3 nor end game are documentaries. havent heard of "washington you're fired" yet.

  • Zeitgeist was a crappy movie. I stopped watching it after it tried to link Mary with figures in other religion by using the letter "M" (which doesn't exist in other languages btw). That part has since been removed.

  • currycurry, why do u even bother?

    arguing with an anonymous youtuber is just insulting your intelligence if u ask me

  • dont know, maybe I realy wanna help this guy see things a more healty and sceptic way.

    Maybe Im just unable to let idiocy slide and let people get away with it. Some people protest deforestation, some people protest globalism, some people protest war, I protest stupidity.

    Or maybe Im just bored.

  • btw, it didnt stop here, he kept on bothering me via private messages, and I just couldnt stop ridiculing all his flawed arguments over and over again, finally he just resolved to plain insulting and childish behaviour. hooray for block.

    Realy did waste my time.

  • thanks for settling it in a civilized manner not like most ignorant youtubers who think everyone is attacking them and calling them stupid

    and what u just said not only showned intelligence, but also character from where im standing

  • Well, thanks. Although I was a bit arrogant in places, but sadly you cant hit ignorance with plain knowledge, sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.

    I even watched a link he sent me, holy crap, if you realy want a laugh, or a reason to facepalm, watch "the truth" from this alex jones character that Jake1772 praises so much.

    I still wonder why a simple video on how some engineers made another nice gadget had to be turned into a discussion about retarded world domination plans.

  • i agree

  • STFU!!!1 you just can't admit you're wrong haha

  • ehh.. okay then?

  • great work

  • thank god that chick didn't narrate this video.

  • geckos!!!!

  • !

    Oh my God, Metal Gear!

  • guys.. check out the boston bigdog on youtube... that is a real walking robot....

  • well, good luck to them but so far all they have is a bouncy metal thing and not a robot

  • metalgear solid geckos

  • The footage of the construction was so fast it made me dizzy.

  • Nice. That is definitely a great Idea. People working together can accomplish anything. If I had a robot I could control it and make it do anything I wanted. Like type stupid comments.

  • Dont worry, some day we'll get there, some day...

  • Its so funny that until now scientists have been trying to use motors to imitate the springyness of organic legs... Even organic legs use something similar to springs! Why reinvent the wheel? Or the leg, as it may be.

  • I bet some moron going to complain about this funding should go to curing cancer.

  • I'm beginning to get impatient for my personal, anatomically correct robot. Hurry up, I'm only getting older.

  • lols am only 16 and i think am getting older aww i wanna see robots plzz dont die ^_^ i dont wanna die

  • sweet!!

    I can't wait for mid-century later.

  • sick bad like Micheal Jackson?

  • he's kinda half in half, but yea i guess

  • if there's a ww3, your country will be behind it rawelch

  • When I first saw this comment I read it as World War one hundred eleven. :0

  • My god are we already up to world war 11? shit i need to pay attention.
