  • That's a big cockroach

  • Robots sucks these days...

  • if im a hunter,i will shoot this deer!!

  • damn that things slow!

  • but the question is...WILL IT BLEND.

  • WHAT A SPEED :O

  • is a moster!

  • this robot look nice but you have to cut the noise, you have to work harder in this proyect.

  • scotty, we need more power!!! XD

  • jeesus how can you control that while its going so fast! daredevils...!

  • it takes 12 hours to go 100 meters..LOL

  • Does this thing have a purpose?!

  • @Shadowwrose1989 I believe it was built to test if it was a viable way of walking around on unstable terrain.

  • hey Na'vi, this is me and there is your magic tree.

  • fast, quiet and blends in!

  • its kinda like star wars that at-st walker

  • 2 fast 

  • probably one of the gayest wastes of time and money i've ever seen

  • Impractical giant wingless termite.

  • RAID!!!!!

  • whats so bad about the wheel they go like 500 times that speed

  • what they too good for wheels

  • hey, you gotta start somewhere before your barrelling down the battlefield with cannons on the thing. Prototypes ftw.

  • What's the point? lol

  • damn, how is ANYBODY going to outrun that thing?!?!

  • does this ting have an apple in the ass? it make shity noise..

    use engine car and hig presure oil pump, an use "verrin" (not know in english)

    and have not the shitty noise and possible a litle more speed..

  • so is it called the locust or something cause it looks like a bug.

  • kid:mom, im going to my friends house next door!

    Mom: okay!

    kid gets in the grasshopper thing

    1 hour later.....

    mom looks out the window and sees the kid, in the robot, traveling 10 mm per hour

  • im dissapointed mutant grasshopper..

  • star wars is real!!!

  • PORKY MINCH.

  • this baby goes 0 to 0 in 5 secs!

  • I would prefer to walk on my own.

  • I wanna see it pull a weight tranfer sled

  • i dont like robot slaves

  • i hope this is the brand new Lamborghini !

  • its not robot its a vehicle

  • If only my girlfriend looked that pretty...

  • METAL GEAR!!

  • Ah, I meant to say, Compared to other vehicle it's not very effective.

  • Compared to other vehicles, but hey, getting closer and closer to Mechs!

  • omg (♥.☻)

  • its kinda lame

    it would have been great w a couple hundred million dollars

    but at present stage, its a waste of time

  • @frostwow

    It's not a waste of time at all - just because it's an early idea, doesn't make it a waste. You wouldn't say the wright brother's plane was a waste of time, just because it only flew 200 feet.

  • @frostwow dude it's a 2006 video

  • Ide rather walk...

  • no offence in me saying, but why exactly would you go out and build a giant insect when you could just look at one in your nearest garden? Wouldn't M1A1 abrams be better of?

  • ....I want one.

  • is it bullet proof

  • It's like an AT-TE prototype.

  • SLOW ... BUT IT STABLE

  • Impressive, but does it play fetch?

  • im scared about them making human robots maybe it could ruin our world.....

  • how is robot slaves a bad thing?

  • because, just like the blacks, they will end up taking over the world

  • @whitetyger00 Because we will become fat asses that can't do anything by ourselves. Having all done by machines will affect our self steem and we will become useless and ungrateful animals. It's good to take care of one self, The idea of having slaves, even if they're machines, is just disgusting.

  • You make a very valid point. One thing I'm not sure if you meant self-esteem or you meant self steam to be like motivation to go out and be productive. either way I more or less agree with you, but why would my self esteem be lower if i had something to do all my labor activities for me?

  • @whitetyger00 its called being lazy and its not right to enslave anything

  • You mean to tell me your so liberal you would fight for robot rights? roflmao. You're essentially saying we should pay wages to industrial robots that build things or the little robot that runs around on the ground and vacuums...

    It's not right to enslave something that has a will of its own like sentient life. Something like a robot can only make choices that have been programmed into it. There is no such thing as free will in machines. Don't treat them like they are higher lifeforms.

  • @whitetyger00 im not saying they are higher than us they could have feelings too

  • not so slow when the ground below you is 200 degrees or minus 100,it has applications as we move foward.

  • Soooo Friiickiiing slooooow xD

  • Get out and walk, you will be faster. That thing is slow...

  • Metal Gear!!!

  • To go where no wheeled or tracked vehicle would dare go. Over collapsed buildings, rubble and really dense jungles. Just give the technology time to mature.

  • To boldly go... Where no car has gone before.

  • put some wheels on that thing and you would have one efficient vehicle

  • Wozu soll das gut sein?

  • ...can it turn ?

  • add one or two sets of blades with a vaccum to cut and pick up the grass. perhaps add a starwars upgrade kit lol

  • I think they should add rotor blades, then it would be like a big flying grasshopper

  • by the time you get to where you are goin you would have ran out of gas its loggin god bam is call tires

  • needs a huge cannon on it to justify it moving so slow.  but have you people ever heard of proof of concept?

    still needs work but good design.

  • Giant cannon: YES.

    Would be good in the Army and bad Riots.

  • Yup, huge cannons are great for cutting down some trees, after all, those fuckers tend to dodge saw blades way too often...

  • humanos que não inventaram a roda!

  • why would you even waste your time buidling something as useless as that

  • because it's awesome. and because the same thing scaled up we could have AT-ATs at the front!

  • looks like a grasshopper

  • Yeah i would think this type of vehicle would be useful on mountains. Even so I'll walk with the leg my parents gave me.

  • toooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow

  • disturbing shit.

  • sorry but its a horrible design and too slow... =/

  • and you wonder why the wheel was invented...i'm trying to understand why anyone would want to travel this way. hovercraft anyone?

  • it's meant for terrain where wheels are impractical,

  • make it run :(

  • Is it a pleasure model? Can it love?

  • good! when will vehicles like this be available? nature does not have a wheel as we do; this should tell us that wheels may be replaced by walking legs in certain instances.

  • you're joking....

  • immenent fail

  • it looks like a big garsshoper

  • if i see that thing like in my backyard i would call the police thinking its like an alien or something

    the world is really advancing

  • its not big dog now is it

  • lol no its not bigdog

  • Now, I want to see a Gundam that can fight and stuff.

  • I'd rather use my pair of legs to walk than to ride with that piece of sh!t!

    "A pair of Leg is better than 3"

  • See why Star Wars is so influential.

  • ROFLMAO!!!!

  • this is from sweden. harvester. it is made for less ground-penetration than a tractor. its very usefull at work in forrest

  • "OH NO! It's a enemy soldier, drive away!"

    *enemy soldier just stands there, thinking "What the hell, why did we even bother trying to destroy these things!?"*

  • you might as well get out and walk!

  • then why are they not able to use it against taliban and in iraq? inpractical is it? and who is US enenimies? Isnt it US that is occuping territory? that makes US the biggest dictator enemy of all

  • and then the strom troopers come in right behind em some at-at's.lol

  • looks like a grass hopper

  • Wow... great!...

  • lol!

  • Gigantyczny pasikonik

  • Why not a regular tractor?

  • this is more environmentally friendly. No huge track trails. As they claim.

    If i understand it correctly this is meant to be equipt with forestry equipment. Current equipment leaves track trails that slow down the forest ability to recover.

  • Neato. :) I like this one better than BigDog. BigDog creeps me out for some reason I don't quite understand, myself. :(

  • Muy interesante, es la era de los robots "Mech"

  • That was a piece of logging equipment for rough terrain where a tracked excavator can't go

  • how long does it take to build one of those, and beside, who would want one of those, they are to slow, good for mountain climbing but bad for road

  • "oh, here comes a tank, lets move to*BAAAAM*

    XP-{---C

  • too slow

  • asimo is fucking awsome dont kill him!!!! he looks like a lil kid and looks waaay to innocent keep asimo upgrade him asimo for life

  • at least it actually walked not skate like what the japanese made.

  • At least the other one only has two legs and blast this one two pieces.

  • nope the one with two legs would most likely be tripped and become useless afterwards.

  • And it can turn on a dime or can it. You selling me a bill of goods? I can sue you for bad design, think what you're getting into. One apology and I'll forget the whole thing.

  • bad design you say, first of all what can some cool design do if it is useless just like your bipedal walking robot wherein if its legs are disabled or its joints it would become useless. then again, which is the bad design now!

  • You see the size of those legs? Disabled joints? Not likely. I see you evaded my question on turning. See you in court my dear, hope you got a good lawyer. You need it.

  • what? first of all what is the sense of all of this goddamn suing thing. first of all its nonsense, second we are only having some third rate discussion here. i am just posting my comments not recommending, just pointing out and comparing differences. then how the fuck did i violate some international treaty or law here that you go suing me? nonsense!

  • In my universe, Here's the way it works. Because you speak so favorably about the virtues of the mechanical insect that can't do anything other than impress unsavvy techies like yourself, makes you an accessory and accomplice to a crime of bad design. I'm therefore coming after you for all your worth Unless you agree the other one is better and will always be.

  • yeah, agreed bipedal machines are good... unless they are only 10 feet tall. well, i was thinking of war machines here and situation in iraq that's why i was able to think of those ideas. anyways... yeah, i think the two legs are at least better.

  • ...fine i give up. the design of two legs are better. the reason i am siding with this insect is yeah indeed the concept of this thing here impresses me. i think you don't need to know the reason behind why i am impressed in that sucky design of that robot in which we two agree indeed. but there's a saying that "more legs are better than two" but oh well... speaking of the design alone... "yeah, the design of this one is worse compared to the flashy two-legs".

  • I got to take a closer look at the insect and now realize what you're saying. It is amazingly whimsical. I agree, it's better. Sorry for the headache I caused you. Maybe we can still be friends and have a good virtual laugh(LOL). Hope you won't counter sue me, ok?

  • don't worry, i aint gonna do that... first of all, i came from a third world country i got no resources to do something like that. secondly, you have some point in your statement. don't worry i openly accepted your side of the argument. i did not took it much seriously.

  • By the way, what's your take on the TOYOTA i-foot (2) robot?

  • not bad i say... its legs its as fine as asimo's.

  • i mean as fine as asimo's!

  • Not Bad? Is that all? I was totally, I mean totallllly floored at the fluidity of this thing. I never knew something like it existed, did you? Maybe I will sue you for lack of understanding the immense implication of it all. Holy cow, what does it take to impress you? Where you're from, you must already have anti-gravity, flying saucers and ray guns and travel to Alpha Centauri (our nearest neighboring star) and back regularly. Know what I'm saying?

  • compared to asimo i say not bad... but i say in overall its impressive! sorry, i somehow lack in my choice of words, english is not my primary language you know.

  • i mean, i stand corrected ok? that new TOYOTA i-foot (2) robot is as impressive as asimo. that is what i meant, sorry if i rushed my statement that time.

  • fine fine, first of all, forgive me for not paying much attention. secondly, what's the drama of this suing thingy. again, it is some random opinions i am spouting out here not recommendations or promoting or even selling something at you. and now i don't get the idea of you suing me for such trivial reasons!

  • its pretty slow xD

  • I was half expecting Ewoks to come running out from the forest "AAAEEEEEEAAAAAA!!!"

  • *slap*

  • I could see this thing working on terrain where wheels wouldn't work well, but yea that's pretty slow. Science fiction come to life!

  • man that thing looks like a big ant

  • Snake? Snake?! SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!

  • The only way it could catch you is if your in an 80s thriller.

  • my old car better then this 1

  • awesome...you can, instead of driving, use a big, expensive vehicle to walk for you! and it's slow!! from the people who brought you "Cup-o-Dirt"!

  • Agreed,

    This is the low end version of high tech.

    But, now go and look for Boston Dynamic's "Big Dog". With a little more refinement, this will be succesful. And, it scares the livin' shit out of me!

  • yeah, I saw that. It's pretty cool.

  • I'll race u with a tricycle!

  • We should quit trying to build mechs. The aliens are laughing their asses off

  • excellent .. now full speed! and what about a winged version

  • off roading? :P

  • Good Idea for Agriculture Farming: djamindieter

  • that's as useful as a one-legged man in an ass kicking competition..

    i could roll up a hill faster than that..

  • Maybe he was thinking of firebats

  • i it so cool !!! but one thing is bad- it slow!

  • wat can be said...

    waaaaaaaaaat the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk!

  • Looks more like an ant

  • Ohoh!! New idea :D Let's make it ride, then it will be alot faster !:D:D

    Oh wait..

  • I think hiking boots would accomplish the same thing for much cheaper.

  • maybe its for people with a handicap, that still wanna walk anyway. XD

  • nie ma co...w tym to mozna sledzic nature nie ingerujac w nia:P

  • u call THAT a tractor?

  • looks like a grasshopper

  • itd be better if it was faster

  • It's used in the forestry business.

  • Yea funny comments, but i think these things are made for harvesting wood...

  • I don't have any idea what the purpose of this will be, but it's totally radical! Can't wait until they can like...go fast. Hehe

  • amazingly he got to his destination 3 hours later!

  • that llooks a bit like a tibeium harvester

  • LET'S GET TO THAT TIB ZONE!

  • dont take any commandos with you though cause they explode in a ball of flames!

  • u mean tiberium?

  • yeah but if u take troops into the tiberium zones then they go BOOM

  • no they dont.....they get sick, their skin rots, their lungs get inflammed, they dont explode...

  • in the original c&c i accidentally sent all my commandos over a tib field to the enemy base and they all exploded in a ball of flames (this happened on ps1 version)

  • so u havnt played C&C3?

  • nah only the demo

  • it kool...but cant do nothing...really...LOL

  • wow it goes slower than you can walk... you'd have to be lazy to drive that.

  • no i think i rather walk

  • whats wrong with just taking a a old crappy Volvo insted? :P

  • i've seen caterpilars that go 10 times faster

  • CALL THE ORKIN MAN

  • Thats good.
