Chinese Quadruped Robot Takes Its First Steps

[peas1337]

lol made in china

[CognitiveNetwork]

THIS IS FUCKING RETARDED!!! Why isn't there 1 engineer out there who can buil a propper quadruped robot? Shit... I'm working on my thesis right on in mechatronical engineering, I'll show you guys. I'm naming it Quadrupedal Dynamic Robot, from Norway.

[spellbinderart]

Look at the way it moves,like it's scared. They probably used motion capture from a real dog in China.

jesus, this was uploaded in 2011 and thats the best chinese could do in the robot race?

[szitozjereturnd]

how did i get there?o.o

[contedete]

If I saw this standing in the train, I would offer my seat to it.

[jimbob202019]

well by the time you send this bit of junk to war, the war will be over by the time its even past a meter.

Made by high school student?

Oh, Jr high school, sorry.

[lawnmoose]

just wait till they hack some MIT computers....they're not that far behind

The contrast between the respective countries purpose for creating such a robot is amusing. According to the article, the Chinese simply wanted to create it to be a robotic triceratops for a museum, whereas the Americans wanted Big Dog to help their military carry bags. In the past, the Chinese stumbled upon gunpowder while searching for an elixir of life, while the Europeans promptly weaponized gunpowder for use in increasingly larger guns.

[starchingllc]

what a joke.

[pr3sidentspence]

Big dog wouldn't alter its stride for the obstacle, would it? It would just try to recover if it tripped on it.... I think. So comparisons are a little apples:oranges.

[FelixTheHouseFreak]

@pr3sidentspence I believe it did alter it's stride.

[JonathonReinhart]

This is pathetic.

[roidroid]

it's not going fast because it's not making the magic sound:

EEEEEEEeeEEEEEEEeeEEEEEEeeEEEE­EEEee

[FelixTheHouseFreak]

@elcabronculero This is the number one way to either not get rated, or get rated down, and get lots of haters on your page.

[holyhell5050]

It has to be said that sometimes the appearance of the robot's behaviour does not reflect the merit of the design techniques involved or the potential for the development of the implemented system. Superficially judging this project on appearances alone just smacks of short sightedness.

[Winsucker]

It's a big dog's retarded sister :D.

[GeeKayKayGee]

@Winsucker Or one might say, Big Dog is a Spazz.

It appears that Frog1 analyzes and calculates where it needs to step to as opposed to big dogs high energy, high power consumption freak out spaz dance.

Both approaches merit development and I imagine future versions of both bots will integrate techniques and ideas from their rivals.

[myshoescramp]

@GeeKayKayGee But doesn't Big Dog already do this when he climbs over the bricks?

[EuroSon99]

Wow how imaginative. NOT. Does China copy everything these days. And a very bad version of the Big Dog as well.

[AgrivatedKillah]

@EuroSon99 SMH FINALLY someone who knows what's up.

Big Dog shits all over this so much it's not even funny.

What''s sad is that BIG DOG was made YEARS ago...smfh china needs some innovators or they'll never come up with anything.

[what77777]

@AgrivatedKillah Wow. Are you that fucking stupid? BigDog was a multimillion dollar project funded by DARPA for the US military and the 2nd gen alone cost $32 million. It was worked on by 3 organizations. This is a project by a prof and his PhD students. No shit it's not going to be half as good as BigDog. And there's dozens of projects like this going on around the world. The fact that it has 4 legs and tries to stabilize itself on different terrains doesn't make it copying.

[AgrivatedKillah]

@what77777 If it was any other country doing this I would agree with you.

Chinese are known for copying from military equipment to everything else.

[scarface8999]

@AgrivatedKillah

They invented gunpowder...

[AgrivatedKillah]

@scarface8999

Lol " they".

The people who invented the gun powder are long gone.

Whilst the people who made the big dog are still here.

I hate people who give credit to the current people living in a certain place, just because people who happened to live in the same place invented something.

[scarface8999]

@AgrivatedKillah

You hate people like me bexause you didnt re-phrase your post. Anyway, they surpass the US in 2016 economy wise, It will be a matter of time.Anyway, i guarantee big Dog took steps just like this, Give them time.

[AgrivatedKillah]

@scarface8999  We'll still have ten times the quality of life and still have a HDI.

The fact they they have a billion people, and they just passed Japan which only has about 127 million people, is sad.

[scarface8999]

@AgrivatedKillah

Oh of course we will still have a higher quality of life, and a higher HDI, it is sad but, on the economic field they are going to surpass us, now even all the international bankers and such are noticing that.

[AgrivatedKillah]

@scarface8999 Look how many fucking people they have.

It's sad that they have that many people and still haven't passed us.

[scarface8999]

@AgrivatedKillah

Thats what communism does for ya.

[roidroid]

@EuroSon99 it's a robot
