Boston Dynamics BigDog Robot - the Army mule

[LoZioEd]

Metal gears just became real! RUN FOR YOUR FUCKING LIFES!

[ThinkingFox]

Man, if I am the enemy and I see hundreds of these coming in my direction, I'd run for my life. 

[abongasanga]

Jajajajja que es eso

[shinobody]

You all guys realise this video is 5 YEARS OLD?! lol

Project has seriously advanced from that time.

[WildBuck007]

It is a good start. Then again. When you have to wear head gear to not go fucking def from it. I'm pretty sure the element of surprise is a lost cause. =P

[TheSpreadsheets]

I know it has a lot of potential, but I cant look at it without laughing

[seattlefans1]

O whats that in the bushes????

[a10fjet]

whats with these people love tapping it? give it a real kick. both feet.

[EatRiceTV]

great for stealth missons

[kjoege1000]

I think they should use it as a disraction instead of an equipment carrier



[2U2bers]

I feel sorry for that thing

[sanchezenzo]

@2U2bers me too!! :P

[mhdenpente]

creepy but amazing

[ZMaxelZ]

is it just me or does this thing look really creepy

[Salien1999]

Enemy:What the fuck is that?

[ShockinLaura]

I'm gonna have nightmares..

[GoovyLiOn]

This is so fcking funny

[4livemafia]

omg

[eskinderg]

try hitting his balls

[DZMOST]

replace all that huzzing with ala ala ala ala and it might work

[skylineTG1]

can I ride it?



[dude12nothin]

or spend money to feed the poor?

[wewetheparakeet]

but the question is will it blend ??

.

[InsaneAryanWTF]

"Robots are the Future" Thanks for showing me a video from 2006 of a machine that has been around for 6 years.

[NiceQuietkid]

it's like a drunken mule.

[juantwothre3]

When he kicked it, it should of kicked him back xD

[knizst]

Peta will be contacting you for kicking the dog!!!!

[TintStuff]

yea thats right kick that ugly ass mule!!

[Freeportku001]

0:37 ... not kicking dat ass dough

[Madblaster89]

one word. Skynet

[JawaRider1]

What are they having if this is on youtube.....

[junkyardbaby]

All I can think of when I'm watching this thing move is Silent Hill...

[zecle]

i jazz in my pants at 0:28 !!!

[MakoRuu]

We could just pretend that it's a drone of bee's coming their way. Even terrorists are scared of bees.

[mitra32203]

you know they could load these things up with explosives and send them towards fortified enemy positions, could even rename them to something more fitting like "The Martyr" and could program it to yell "allah hu akbar" or whatever religious thingy you want to say

[tommyzDad]

Boston Dynamics = Cyberdyne. The Terminators are here.

[whatsthebigfukindeal]

@tommyzDad except it dosn't have an AI yet..

[Joiner113]

I can just imagine this thing harvesting corpses o_o

[Mr03wranglertj]

useless

[Cozmos31]

@Mr03wranglertj clearly its not finnished... stupid much?

[brikered]

Holy sh!t !!! This is the scariest thing EVER! O___O

[coghostfox]

This will win the war in the middle east. Seeing this thing coming is like watching Death come right at you.

[jafneejesmeee]

The noises are the cry of help from the 2 people inside it.

[Spetet]

Beware of the dog.

[SmokingSpoon]

It's no motor! The thing is suffering! XD

[delgadomusicart]

am I the only one who thinks this robot is scary?

[redmilkcrate]

they should build one that kicks back

[redmilkcrate]

It fucking freaks me out. it's like two blokes in a suit. the ultimate pantomine horse. I actually felt sorry for it when they were kicking it.

[squagglenater]

might as well put a turbo on that shit

[blickluke]

i like how it corrects its position when nudged but its insanely loud

[TheAgeOfLegendsFilms]

this has to be the scarriest thing to see when its comign at you and you cant stop it o-O

[ollie11223]

this thing is scary

[ZuDuka1]

i gotta say, with some logic and tactics, along with some weapons, this thing would be almost exactly like the hunter from half-life.

anyone else see the resemblance? 

[lmckenzie27]

@Togborn1234  NASA's gotta be chompin at the bit for this.

[applejuiceofmine]

Metal Gear Dog!!

[ONELOVEONEWORLD4ALL]

It's a good robot. It's interesing, exciting. That's a great job. Congratulations to the entire team who transformed their imaginations into reality.

[animal8u]

SHUT UP!!

[thecoolestchris69]

The enemy will never hear it coming.... xD

[TokeyToke420xD]

I still think it kinda moves all freaky like

[barkydog11]

amazing how it actually stretches it's legs when it's about to fall. so what do you do with it? load wounded men on the robot mule's back in war? if you could make it trot like a pony that would be better.

[Graffkulture11899]

:29 Robot: Jerk! this wasn't in my job description...

[AyeSkyeTech]

hup hup hup hup

[xXhighwolfXx]

i hope this isn't for realz, man i have such a better design that would work. i guess this is a good start for them

[AyeSkyeTech]

@xXhighwolfXx this says 2006, its 2011, they have better ai

[xXhighwolfXx]

@AyeSkyeTech yeah latley i have poor observation skills XD. never bothered to look at the date.

[michaeldublg]

@AyeSkyeTech I'M CURIOUS, WHAT DO YOU THINK Ai HAS TO DO WITH THIS MACHINE,

[16marksman16]

sounds like george bush all that you can hear is bull shit

[michaeldublg]

@16marksman16 LOL ... YOUR COMMENT REMINDS ME OF HUSEIN OBAMA ! HE'S AN IDIOT ! 

[16marksman16]

@michaeldublg haha both are

[KolePowa]

Aww he Likes the Mud

[lopside0]

Yay! They've reinvented the mule; except this one is vastly, vastly louder, has a limited range, carries less, and slows to nearly a stop when it encounters slightly difficult terrain. I bet it'd be really easy to move through enemy territory unnoticed with one of these carrying your gear :P. I understand the need, but seriously, does this thing to ANYTHING that a mule can't already do?

[SirTreSwordReviews]

@lopside0 so much for stealth huh

[michaeldublg]

@lopside0 YOU KNOW THIS IS A PROTOTYPE RIGHT? THE BEGINNING, RIGHT? ... DO YOU KNOW HOW SLOW AND LOUD AND NEEDY THE STEAM LOCOMOTIVE WAS WHEN IT WAS FIRST INVENTED ?? NOW WE HAVE QUIET ELECTRIC BULLIT TRAINS THAT DO 300 MILES AN HOUR.

[habeeb447]

@lopside0 Not get scared shitless in gunfights, and dosnt need to be fed. lol petrol

[squagglenater]

@lopside0 well if a mule takes 1 bullet its pretty muchly dead but this thing cud prob stand up to light gunfire if it is armored

[lopside0]

@squagglenater Yeah, if it has armor weighing less than 260 or so pounds, which is this thing's payload. But point taken. Another bonus, the heinous noise it makes is likely to drown out the gunfire; So that's a plus.

[slugcat123]

@lopside0 It has an ice dispenser.

[tylertsheets]

@lopside0 it follows orders that a mule can't follow

[alphasardinekid]

@lopside0 have a heart attack

[OMGOMGIWANT]

@lopside0 die.

[locutus2011]

@lopside0 You do realize it's a prototype? Right?

[gabrielthemexican]

@lopside0 It wont get mad when you kick it.

[bdaman97]

@lopside0 If you were just going for the joke then ignore this but if that was a serious question just think of it as a stepping stone to something better.

[boatofcoins]

@lopside0 1: It's not a living animal

2: It can probably withstand a few shots from enemy fire.

3: Future technology will make it better

[Purcader222]

@lopside0 The thing is, that this is a start. The first TV wasn't a 52 inch flat screen with full hd. You need to begin somewhere and then improve.

[castper]

@lopside0 not poop

[MrBebopChamploo]

@lopside0 It looks cooler?

[Identifyed]

0:30-0:32 animal cruelty. ANIMAL CRUELTY, I SAY!

[paperNATEman]

now...make it about 3,000 times bigger, add purple armor and weapons AND YOU'VE GOT A SCRAB

[paperNATEman]

@paperNATEman oops: i ment scarab (halo)

[iljaproost]

can you put a gun on it's back?

[jjjperrin]

Where's the head?

[Psyc0ticXbl4deZ]

a good bicycle kick should make sure he want catch his fall LOL they must be having some fun:)

[fuzzymonster477]

CHAAAAAAAAARGE!!!!!!!!!!!

[GregOrca]

It's technically superb , but it illustrates how the world's most sophisticated military can be held at bay for years by peasants in wooden huts.

A zillion dollars to develop something that can't perform as effectively as a 2dollar self replicating donkey that is silent and fuels itself.

Nice work if you can get it

[Starioshka]

@GregOrca Instead they could use cars.

[cphearson29]

u guys need to stop with the b.s. do u really think they're going to use this for the military? when they get ready, they'll just add some guns to it and then u'll figure out wtf all those "containers" FEMA has, are really used for.

[Stein871]

i bet nobody will hear it if it's near.....it souds like a bloody chainsaw

[fishermen755]

can you set a course and make it go somewhere by itself?

[NEVALOVE]

I imagine that, but in a bigger scale... Ok, now i'm fucking terrified...

[ButterflyFallacy]

Poor robot just wants people to stop kicking it. :P

[Longmachao]

Metal gear solid....

[TheCrazyFinn]

Why the annoying buzzing? I've seen indoor tests, where it makes no sound. :/

[marfinman]

i so just wana see that thing eat shit hella hard that would be hella funny

[s332651397]

SURE IS QUIET. WON'T GIVE AWAY TROOP POSITIONS AT ALL. WHATS THAT? I CANT HEAR YOU. I SAID THIS ROBOT SURE IS QUIET, DON'T YOU THINK?

[eddieboyglos]

KICK IT!!!!

[GeekRecords]

wtf? .....

[1992chas]

it's too loud. it will give away positions...

[Nicholasdude187]

Lol is that its ass of its face? serriously

[vivisamH39]

Da medo uii!

[MaikeruTech]

If all robots in the future make this noise i'll be too terrified to leave my house

[Kzook]

It's disturbing.

[kespec]

i wanna ride this shit baby, born to be wild, modern style

[perceval30]

@kespec lolllllz

[fluchter1996]

It's mean of that guy to kick it at the end. I've sent a report to the RSPCA and the ASPCA. There's no excuse for animal cruelty.

[sweetbilly]

Sarah Connor???

[sadfghhj]

wonder what would happen if it stepped on a land mine......... lets just no weaponize it

[barrowscasper12]

makes to much noise men demm if ur enemy hears it ur fucked -.-

[MrGuyfromhell]

FAIL

[DFCC]

Only thing is....if they were to use it out in the field.....it needs to be quieter... >_>

[DFCC]

@DFCC It would be quite handy in helping wounded soldiers, you know? *lubs on BigDog* Tis kinda cute~

[asian1erTheDestroyer]

SO THATS WHAT'S GONNA HUNT US DOWN DURING MARSHALL LAW.

[fluchter1996]

@asian1erTheDestroyer Martial Law - it means rule by the military

[asian1erTheDestroyer]

@fluchter1996 YEA I KNOW THAT.IT'S THE NWO CONSPIRACY.

[BigRoj]

That is a fantastic bit of kit, very cleverly engineered and prosecuted. But I do find it a little disturbing, especially when it's kicked, almost the same feeling you'd get watching someone kick a newborn foal over! Sort of.

[TheLobsterOfFate]

sounds like 2 lawn mowers , it would be easy to run from that thing or hide

[nathansekul]

naw naw, it will work guys, and the noise?? naww it wont give away our positions.

HEADLINES "new army mule gives away american militants position, costing the lives of 11 US soldiers"

[DocSolomon]

@nathansekul dude its still being perfected... obviously they have to get rid of the noise... they are just showing what its capable of off

[asian1erTheDestroyer]

@DocSolomon ITS GONNA KILL US AND THESE IDIOTS WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT ARE GONNA BE SORRY:)

[Mraajdar]

It needs either a grenade gun or gatling gun attachment. Now.

[d0nttdrop]

It look slike its dancing LOL

[FreeMMOGameReviews]

its so loud though, it would give away your position?

[daironification]

it looks like 2 skinny ppl dancing around lol with no bodies lmao!

[MrPoohey78]

its to noisy to be used in any stealth missions.

[Victortrotska]

@MrPoohey78 This is just a prototype, the final stage would be much better, possibly armour plates, noise insulation, more silent parts etc...

[iFaiLx]

i bet chuck norris could kick that mother fucker down

[pyroguy5432]

OMG ITS A GECKO 

[markthewhalekiller]

I just realized. This thing = Tektite. You know, those things from the original Legend of Zelda? They were like spiders, but with only 4 legs? Dog-spider things? They came in purple and orange? Yeah. Tektites.

[Tim3Hunt3r]

looks scary^^ remembers at Half life 2 :D the stryder....

[skjaldulfr]

150 lbs... so hypothetically speaking it could be ridden? That could be fun for a bit, but what's more expensive? gasoline or oats?

[marckokaspura]

imagine this shit invading your home in the middle of the night with several soldiers dressed in black. because that is what will happen

[Xentradi97]

Automated mobile vuvuzela. Annoyance x 100.

[bellamai]

oh god that is everything I never wanted a robot to look like ;__;

[LuCiDDuNcAn]

somebody shut that thing up!

[WILCOX11B]

If it wasn't so loud the thing would be cool for tactical situations but like this would useless. Why not just a real dog?

[PrettyDamnedBored]

FUCKING KILL IT. FUCKING KILL IT!

[TRINITY8400]

does the Terminator Movies ring a bell?

[MultiHruby]

this just altered the course of my life

[TheCartographer89]

This is amazing! Once they eliminate that god awful noise our troops will be able to take massive amounts of gear practically anywhere. And maybe one day we'll be riding these around. Full circle eh.

[weekenedproductions]

wow thats sure to but a fear factor to those damn terrorist! And dont the frikin bee just annoy the enemy and make them wanna shoot them selfs. Wong that like alert the enemy Jesus -.-

[chrism216]

this is technology poetry

[F104gfan]

Das Teil hört sich an wie ein Rasenmäher der gleich abkackt. Ist aber geil. Das teil fleigt net um. Richtig nobel

[xmamoneyx]

is this thing self aware or is it controlled by an outside source... if its self aware and did all that by itself well hello to the soon to be terminator both a gud and bad thing

[pippolaccio]

It has no head, no eyes. It could step on your foot and hurt you. A real mule would never step on your foot.

[drslimbo]

Whats the purpose?

[everythingisfake1973]

@drslimbo

exactly????

how much was this?

[NOOBNUT08]

it just needs a big bear costume and its all set to keep the kids inline when there running around the house like little retards. XD

[nephil1977]

Aww!... It's wearing leg warmers. Must be nippy out.

[kailanGoreng]

this is scary cool! ahahaha

[Gearz86]

i saw a vid of this thing correcting itself instantaneously after slipping on ice. Pretty amazing

[gnorralicious]

lollll what the fuck is this

[casper123101]

Its gonna destroy us all!

[CLRaider]

it brings too much noise. will the enemey know you're coming with that thing making noise. anyone can answer. im just curious.

[trahcceb]

@CLRaider if i was the enemy I would be having too much fun kicking it and laughing.

[CLRaider]

@trahcceb lol

[surplusagent]

@CLRaider I'm sure this is just to prove the concept of the idea. the final product may not even look like this , much less make that much racket. Just like Chuck Yeager busted the sound barrier in the 1947 with an aircraft called the X-1 , it had very little resemblance to any of the aircraft it spawned , for instance the Space Shuttle and most modern fighter aircraft.

[CLRaider]

@surplusagent oh good point.

[weldon0m]

wild!

[PlamEnatoR1ReD]

it`s such an ugly machine :D :D :D... BTW... it`s very useful for me (and my 1 ton of equipment :D)

[xXLouie93Xx]

My thoughts exactly, Brain. Next BigDog will moo....

[1993benj]

creepy thing.would be much better if it can run serve the military better.

[GiantCorey]

@1993benj

Or the Combine...

[CuervoBlack06]

@1993benj It can already run and jump.

[UmatsuObossa]

:D I wanna ride one! Who has a saddle?

[Brain704]

metal gear solid is closer than we think

[kurisu925]

I guess the noise is a small gas powered generator cause I noticed it was quiet when they had it hooked up in the indoor test at the end.

[donkeypuncher46]

@kurisu925 its quiet indoors cause theyre using air instead of gas

[kevbieri]

too bad it sounds like a dam bumblebee

[<]

:D:D
