BigDog - Boston Dynamics (2008)

[jimda44]

cool shit

[richwaight]

Amazing!!

[jface23]

he's not too smart when he's in the snow!

[mgg777]

holy shit!

[MrAstroBleme]

It's incredible, but somehow really creepy at the same time...

[testpilot123]

We can finally make AT-AT's

[saltyoceanwater]

what is it ??? im gunna have nightmares!!

[tk421808]

Super cool, super creepy, super frightening. And totally want a ride on this thing.

[jimspy1001]

Creepy.

[schoolgirl125]

it's amazing how it didn't fall when it was kicked or when it slipped on the ice!!

[HelveticRaven]

Damn scary!

I can't get the scenario from Terminator out of my brain.

[P0pThETrUnK]

@HelveticRaven

that's what i thought

[mapleleafindica]

these robots will do the jobs normal soldiers could not compare with their moral.

kills by pushing the bottom stop this crazy shit !! rockefeller & co will let this on humanity

[easternavenuekiller]

This scares me

[LilAnthony86]

that's very creepy, give him a gun, a very good camera, make him faster and he can hunt people.

by the way, that was in 2008, and i bet, japans have better ones.

and don't forget that secret techn. like from the CIA suppose to be 20 years further compare to the public techn.

[madmax55667788]

freakin nightmare!!

[GreenSunTheFur]

So cute <3... o.O

[drummerjunk]

why does this seem so creepy?

[rtuumm]

Gekkos!!! Metal Gear!!!

I loled at 0:36

[tulud]

it looks like 2 metal gear gekkos stuck together?

[Boxeru13]

These guys are truly gods amongst men for this awesome creation.

[XioXaio12]

METAL GEAR!

[Anonymous0057]

Oh god, they made a vuvuzela blowing robot, these truly are the final days of humanity.

[tredward321]

reminds me of bambi

[iDuffdabestweed]

what the fuck??? thats creepy

[Bigfatstupidalien]

METAL GEAR!?!?

[Claytons91]

...LMAO...it was funny as fuck when he kicked it, it was all like.."OHH SHIITT"

[shirtcheese]

it scares me how realistic its movements are.

[ponham]

MET*

[ponham]

scary as fuck!! would die if i meet one of those in the forest :D

[CrazyBoy53JJ]

looks like two skinny guys facing towards each other conjoined by that huge rucksack containing their organs.

[1986wumpscut]

@CrazyBoy53JJ

Rofl so true. XD

[kungenchrille]

@CrazyBoy53JJ

the human centipede??!?!?

[superglau]

METAL GEAR!!!

[KlausPenbender]

3:03 - 3:09 Holy shit! that thing can run AND jump!

[KlausPenbender]

Now they just need to put motion sensor guns on it and they have their selves an attack drone.

[KlausPenbender]

1:24 - 1:32

doo da doo I'll just deliver this package and OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT phew that was a close one.

[JayB1742]

This is awesome news for my brothers out there doing good things to bad people. Need to fix the creepy factor of it though. If I didn't know what it was I would shoot the hell out of it.

[rawrletsgo]

to the programmers this giant fly with four legs must be like their baby since they have no wives. of course its funded by the government. they plan to get rid of all the humans to enforce the shit they want in their world

[BayouCityMan]

I was LMAO when it started slipping and sliding on the ice and it's legs were struggling to get back up. That thing has good gyros and servos and great programmers. Still laughing at the memory of the Big Dog doing his best impression of a waiter with a full tray slipping in water.

[Drift88king]

AWESOME!

[petrakid]

if that freakin' buzzing monstrosity came walking toward me I think I would have to shoot it

[TheMissDesi]

incredibile!

[BLACKanimebrother]

That's amazing...

[johnzy]

Why did that asshole kick it.

What an asshole!

[KlausPenbender]

@johnzy relax it was just a test (as well as some tough love) It was all for science I tell you!

[julie991977]

Real donkeys get shot and die.

[jumpiiicek]

Damn thats creepy!!

[princeofawareness]

So fucking weird! looks and sounds like a giant fly without wings

[Anatolia2]

This is gonna be so handy when they have to kill the Anti-Globalists.....We are fucked.

[avita950]

It is cool, but $32mil to replace a donkey with ... a robotic donkey!

Actual donkeys do an amazing job. They are tough as hell, carry thier own body weight and only eat grass.

Donkeys are working great for our troops in Afganistan right now... this doesn't make much sense.

It is amazing though.

[Jkrwx]

It's just a beginning. Now it's 32mil, in few years a couple of thousands, and so on.

[peach2girl]

that is scary. but cool

[MMA3013]

Just wait until the BD-800 model comes out and it starts doing the fighting for us : )

We better hope they don't become self aware.

[QPhilms]

Just wait till it is programmed to respond violently to being kicked at...

...then programmed to pre-judge if someone is going to kick.

But on a lighter note, it would be ideal for solar system exploration.

Unfortunately, as Eisenhower warned prophetically in his farewell speech, the ones that want and can afford these things are those who will do the most wrong with them...

[Mech610]

The way it recovers, it almost acts like a living organism. What an age we live in huh?

[Saccillia]

at first, i was frightened of it. the way it walked, acted.. was like some sort of creation of Silent Hill.. but after seeing how it didn't care being kicked.. and it comically regaining it's ballance from slidding.. it's quite facinating

[emoneytrain]

amazing design. except i don't see it working too well in stealth operations with that operating noise.

[hedpe2003]

@emoneytrain I would imagine the noise would be the last problem to fix, when developing this.

[wicky615]

Metal gear, here we come....

[squealersg]

I would sure hate to see that thing in the deer woods! talk about leaving a scent trail!!

[shaunhill13]

Is it just me, or does this remind anyone of the AT-AT from Star Wars?

[ihatespiders77]

That is the best robot I have ever seen. If you havent shown it to NASA, you should. My aunt and uncle retired from NASA several years ago. And if you could scale down its size it would be perfect for exploring other planets in this solor system and beyond.

[SCARSAC]

need 2 50cals.

[moreownage]

hhahaha 1:30 omg sso funnnny

[Spartiatai300]

Apparantly they will be used in packs and will hunt down people, I gues with guns, would be scary to have a couple of those going after you with spinning blades and stuff.

[mattuiop]

the army can get that for a big prise, or they have get some retarded donkey's for 20X less money

[CuervoBlack06]

Donkey's get shot or blown up and die. Or they get spooked and run off and then your s.o.l. These you can repair and still get your money's worth.

[mattuiop]

ohh good point

still, think of da money!

[cyfer911]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ! so disturbing oO looks like something from Silent Hill :S

[noodlenate]

omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg

I'm crying right now.

[D33Lux]

What's really sick is the mind set of some of the comments, always thinking in a destructive, violent war mentality. This could be used in a more constructive & economically useful manner. It could replace the horse & donkey on terrains where vehicles cannot go, or for terrestrial applications in space expeditions.

[LittleDragon5]

I wouldn't know what to think if one of those things suddenly popped out of the forest like that and came towards me. That's kind of scary.

In the near future, they'll mount mini-guns on these dog robots.

Soon enough, Skynet will take over then we all know what's going to happen. You think running zombies are bad? Wait till you get a few hundred T-800's mounted on these dog/horse robots chasing people around.

[shkurmoviemaker]

I beat the shit out of one of these once

[ShaneOryan]

nice

[you777777777777]

this is where investment runs. soon (in terms of universe years), high chance we may have inter planetary wars assuming humans survive till then or something else morphs out of us. dammit, wherz my valium

[bscutajar]

Impressive and funny?

[hoopbla58]

i want to see it fall over!

[MrPittsbrother]

That thing pisses on Asimo for advanced

control abilities, the robots are well and truely coming. When I first saw Big Dog I thought it was two people playing a joke!

[browniexpowder]

that things fucken CREEPY

[adamclark1972uk]

it doesn't even seem like a robot the way it moves when that guy kicked it - like a real animal

[DontTread0nMe1776]

Imagine if that thing came traipsing through your campsite in the middle of the night!

[MIC960]

Good jog, i am also going to build an hydrolic robot but it's going to have 6 legs, LIKE AN INSECT, and remote control. I have all the theory, all a need is the money and time to do it!

[Gregoryno6]

When will we see it on Dancing With The Stars?

[GothicaJ]

LOL, that is amazing!

[Cambalatxe]

We can imagine the future...it's a crap!

[Basergor]

Now this is creepy. I love it.

[hawkie97]

thats cool

[stojke19]

za koju decenju bigDog ce letovati na moru umesto nas...a smo duboko ispod zemlje,jer napolju je posledica nuklearnog rata 2035.

i tako...ce sve to da izgleda

[thugless]

That buzzing noise is so terrifying for some reason. Technology is great and all, but this is scary and also reminds me of something out of the0 Metal Gear Solid games.

[nosedigger]

DOG CYLONS

[1supremeaaron]

How is it a dog cylon? A cylon is a science fiction robot which has its own Artificial Intelligence. This robot has no AI (considering humanity isnt that far advanced in the area of robotics). So basically calling it a "dog cylon" is completely wrong. The big dog like all robots is programmed to obey commands input by a real person on a computer.

[bscutajar]

No. It has AI since it can avoid obstacles and falling over.

[1supremeaaron]

What about a collision detection program? I helped program a robot for a robocup. We had to make sure it avoided obstacles so we added sensors in the front which we programed to scan the path and when it came to an obstacle it would try to avoid it. As for falling over well gravity stops that from happening as well as pre set commands.

[bscutajar]

Yes. That's called AI. You might want to search for the definition.

[Injulen]

Wow this is great. They did a REALLY good job. The jump it does at the end is so great. Not the most graceful thing in the world when you first see it, but watching it in slow motion really shows how perfect it was

[Rhasae]

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to steampunk.

[MontereyMatt]

now imagine 1000 of these things closing in on your house with mounted machine guns

[venom1dark]

like in mgs4 thoughs gekko's...SCARY!!!

[OktoberSunset]

2 words:  cattle grid.

[GoodauldBadwolf]

improved versions can have applications..

resupply a cut of fixed position etc

or walk a bomb to a bunkers front door drop it and leave :)

nice working early example,better will come soon

[prowlaman]

wow. I want one.

[fricandelero3]

I hope not that THIS is intended for stealth missions

[hoinky]

legs look like a geck's

we are sooo fucked....

[Xouzko1]

did anybody else notice the really loud noise this thing makes so its pretty much usless besides making it walk on stuff

[Jrocke07]

What the fuck is that??

[Staunts]

it's like a giant housefly with invisible wings.

[mihail75]

do we need something like this? kids are dying in Africa and what are we doing? This?

[nevermindthatday]

maybe it's good ... doing this instead of kids ...

[beebobox]

yes we do

yes we need it

shortsighted people dont progress the world, people who do amazing things do, and this is amazing.

[FriedCoD]

how much does it cost?

id like one of those..... only to fight those...

[zernestro]

omg i would love to blow this mothafucka in nanoparticles...

[scaliwag5]

The Japanese ain't got nothin'

[ReligionIsACrutch]

0:40

The beginning of the Robot Apocalypse.

[Kerpal2253]

At first glance, I said man they need to make that thing quieter for battle. Then I said, nahh. Scare the shit out of everyone. Really though, this thing is scary as sh1t. A few pieces of Kevlar and a really good AI gun mechanism and this whole Palestine/Jerusalem thing will be entertaining. Pc Magazine's best game of 2012 in the Real Time Streaming Conflict category.

[Festerius2008]

This thing is terrifying! :)

[kljasdgfgdsf]

imagine walking through the woods and seeing one of these mother fuckers coming towards you

[ooggbboo]

Soon it will be carrying supplies to troops in the field, then outfitted with light weaponry for urban warfare, then heavy weaponry for any warfare, then the shock troops of Skynet. I look forward to the day I meet the engineer who kicked this prototype weeping in a Skynet prison camp.

[malaka686535]

This is great to show how we are advancing in science, but what's scary is how realistic the movements are of big dog. You can almost see an animal behave in the same way if it was kicked or slips on the ice. Its a truly a wonderful and yet truly a frighting thing to see.

[davidbukis]

jejeje , DARPA jejejje .always DARPA !!!

[sonicboom]

terrifying

[chri5ku]

i love the part when the man kicks it! lol

[ReligionIsACrutch]

He will die in the first wave of the Robot Apocalypse.

[anurangax27]

u gonna have to cut that awful sound if you want to use it as a military robot

[legendarysannin65]

WTF?! OMG! This thing is ... scary. omg! like that one in MGS4. FUCK! THIS IS IT! WE'RE ALL DOOMED!!!

[nexsolost]

Questo è il Metal Gear !!!

[Kuki3l]

Id be fucking scared if i see it at night on the street

[Cantdanceforreal]

wow how long did they take to build this. making it walk in directions is pretty easy mang.. C could do it.. but i wonder how they programmed it to decline concrete blocks,, how does it know which one to choose? solely based on distance from the sensor?

[anurangax27]

its simple when you have variety of sensors

[Kerpal2253]

Where's yours?

[gazizle]

i actually felt sorry for it wen it was on the ice but i gota say that is 1 ugly luckin thing

[bigfootds]

looks taken out from silent hill

[animalnt]

what happens when it does fall over, how much does it weigh?

[animalnt]

you have been watching too much terminator

[EaimoE]

anyone else wanna ride these things?

[malchurn]

Horse/robot racing anybody !

[gord045]

tell u what im freaked out... if i saw that thing near me ill be sure to do more than just kick it! lol it will be cool if they made it shut up and make it look like a dog!? lol

[ShwangShwing]

Why does it sound like a chainsaw?

[chenshire30]

lol @ 1:27

[elvyralani]

Very, very neat how it can recovered after being kicked.

That noise it makes is the generator that is on it.

[buckley264]

Kill these F-ers b4 they make SKYNET!

[LoneSousuke]

that's freaking awesome. i would love to see something like this helping us in the military. the thing itself looks sorta creepy (like a giant ant) but that could help us with ALOT of stuff! woot!

[TheGoodnessIsGood]

What a pile of dog crap. Can you believe they are making us build this prison for ourselves complete with robot dogs? all I can say to anyone who thinks that the boys at the "top" of the control chain have anything good in our interests by this kind of thing is watch Star Wars episode 3! ORdER 66!!

[dianitapilla]

WOW!!! there tumbles a lot of research! well done... well done...

[Iceols]

scary

[andreasjh]

Imagine why they would need this?

-It can carry over 300lbs and maintain its balance, jump, run, climb.

Now imagine them with weapon systems mounted and armor.

Now imagine them following orders with no human opinion.

Wake Up People!

[LoneSousuke]

why is everyone putting something like this in perspective with movies and video games? o_o

[andreasjh]

This scares me

[Karimpulsive]

OMG

Looks like the robots of Metal Gear Solid 4 - guns of Patriot

[AnbaKyrillos]

I am still trying to figure out why this was recommended to me by YouTube. Nevertheless, where were you when I had to walk to school, up-hill, both ways? Just kidding.

[xdeliriumgirlx]

ah its legs look like something out of resident evil

[aidakensuke]

scary. that will become reality. prepare yourself

[shirls2]

Well sure is strange but least it can walk wonder if it can do the dishes lol love Shirlsxx

[glazinq]

Shoulda kicked it harder!

[knutervalve64]

this thing would scare the hell out of anyone

will be used as a war type gadget i imagine ?

great send marianneglinda 5*

[kaargen]

Creepy. Looks like it should be a monster in Silent Hill.

[mugenfan98]

It's not like you couldn't hear it coming. It sounds like a couple of lawnmowers with legs. The uncooperative humans would have to be deaf.

[ipwnorcs]

ever think it would be refined and you know upgraded as they continue to work on it? yeah you didnt

[mugenfan98]

I don't think you could make it quiet enough, and even if they did, the sound level would worsen substantially after only a few missions.

[CALAdmin88]

Reminds me of a Gekko (MGS4). Scary.

[superconductivityman]

I do beleive its time to buy guns

[daviDMCelis]

This is no laughing matter; the Pentagon is already planning to use these technologies to hunt down and round up "uncooperative humans".

[aidakensuke]

exactly

[ForcaSpc]

LOLLLLL 1:31

[richskee]

thats just freaky

[gunsandbullhorns]

Oh great. Thanks DARPA. :|

[SturmUndDrang13]

Imagine that with an M-60 machine gun on it. :)

[SturmUndDrang13]

Wtf, that's really scary :)

[AudieHolland]

Armed with just simple guns or tasers, packs of these 'dogs' could be used for crowd control, chasing protesters off the streets or herding "uncooperative elements" into gas chambers and the like. :-(

[DPKFOUR7]

What a waste of money, a mule can do the same thing at a tenth of the cost no doubt.

[americaneagle1967]

mules are thick headed though..lol

[ipwnorcs]

mules require food, mules get scared, mules can't be mounted with automatic weapons and set lose on the public

[DPKFOUR7]

Mules dont require millions of dollars...

[stimulater7]

10 times bigger... fusion ....or nuclear

powered.. armoured ... nuthin would stop it ..

scary as hell

[americaneagle1967]

imagine a gun mounted on it..lol
