New Big Dog Video from Boston Dynamics

[JoshDaFr3ak]

How fast can it move

[PeoplesGeneral]

give it 50 years and this will be the basis of the AT-AT from Star Wars...

[Opiois]

To loud.

[MCampbell13]

Yeah. That's really scary. That annoying buzzing sound is the last thing we will ever hear...

[takotako1004]

Noisy

[Venus1Star]

Thats weird.

[trykarshousewillburn]

3 weeks later skynet comes online

[SuperHimLove]

@azelmish some skinny legs then.

[EdiownedU]

yes but will it blend

[Deepmindandheartlife]

i want to see it swimming

[NinjaRogue234]

are there ppl inside this

[danichan19]

It looks like 2 people facing eachother and doing a potty-dance.... lol XD

[clayton5150]

its movment is so natural

[iPoder916]

キモすぎ

[Shinhaquro]

Man, this is both cool and creepy. I've never seen a non-humanoid robot that's hit the Uncanny Valley so closely.

[aos50]

0:29 Creepy Robot abuse!

[ge5undhe17]

Y know what would make it awesome? A drill head. WHRRRRRRRRRRRR

[MrBurkestain]

I wanna ride around on it :D

[SPxAxCE]

@rustitonkkari77 this robot was made for the military to cary thier equipment and it could carry over 400 pounds so is it really gay?

[RusiTonkkari77]

This must be THE gayest robot ever invented. Hopefully some other bot will fuck it up.

[shinnybinnyable]

what if after he kicked it like turned around and sprinted at him, then knocked him over and just started beating the shit out of him with its creepy legs. all the while it's loud motor just revving like a chainsaw does

[NoobXPcc]

I would make that thing walk around my school

[hitfan01]

we should armor tese up and send them to war. if i saw this coming at me id turn around and run.

[johnnywa6]

were all FUCKED!!! ...and think about it ...this is just the one there showing us. it says the big dog is 6 feet tall and 235 pounds...im 6'5 and this thing scares the fuck out of me.

[theotrian]

STOP ROBOTS ABUSE!

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its robots are treated." -Mahatma Gandhi

[PowerArmor96]

its like a robot donkey

[qazwas2001]

@PowerArmor96 except way louder and way more expensive

[Topy44]

Interesting how everybody just comments on the noise it makes, which is totally irrelevant. The noise is made simply by the combustion engine used to power it. In a production version, it is no problem replacing that with a much more silent one, or even powering it by other means entirely. The engine is only used to drive a hydraulic compressor. The impressive bit here is mostly the software and the leg mechanics.

[SSuperCuriouss]

Awesome biomimicry. the balancing is great!!! Love the jumping!

Will check if you have more recent work posted.

I guess mechanics in the next prototype will be more silent.

(Thought my Vuvuzela button was on, hehehe)

[BobMarly3]

its like something off the human centipede

[Deefultz]

How the hell do you make it go where you want it to go?

[Videogametourist]

Oh shoot, I can imagine this thing chasing me in the woods.

[Deathstorm3]

So much for stealth operations....

[Silverduqe]

The steed of the future ;D

[Zothene]

thier neighbors must be absolutely terrified. lols thas one big wasp!

[BluntAnim]

that thing is remarkable.

i was really impressed when it leaped into the air and jumped over that spot of darker floor or something, it's very wel designed

[PinmanX]

This thing has a terrible singing voice.

[CowGrinder]

This is what they will strap guns to and the mutilated flesh of their enemies will adorn its metal flesh. It shal emerge from the shadows with the buzzing of fetid insects and it will be smelt long before it is seen or heard. Behold! for this is the beautiful machine!

[harrifer3000]

It's so noisy, they have to work on that before the military will take it.

Also, I like the idea of it for riding on, like a mini horse. Or maybe a bigger one for riding. There's a civilian application. Are you happy now with your robo horse you whiny fucks?

I wish I had a robo horse. Especially if it could canter like at the end. I definitely wouldn't worry about people gently kicking it, it could say up! I might worry about looking like a nob-end though...

[trishaarvind]

I'm kind of disappointed that the first application anything thinks of for this is a military one. In 20 years I hope we'll be using this for something other than warfare

[creapah]

now all it needs is a purpose lol

[NOOBNUT08]

@creapah yea its a walking backpack holder.

[YouKnow381195]

Just give it some mini guns and some smarter AI and then you've got something.

[ymonkey333]

KILLL IIIIIT

[lightsoul007]

The first thing I thought of when I saw this thing were the Gekkos in MGS4. Creepy. As. Hell.

[TheTarantulasWeb]

Looking at some of the comments - a lot of people don't see the practical applications of this unit. - But people said the same things about the first auto mobiles and aircrafts when they first appeared. people need to see that this robotic unit is only in its infancy..! - In 20 years, this unit could be a force to be reckoned with.

[erjohnson227]

Its like a walking chain saw....

[4n7r4x91]

i agree zD

[IIIDarkWorlDIII]

this is darn funny

[ultrarus]

2:08 - yellow square is fake

[erjohnson227]

What do you mean? You think they are trying to cover up something?

[ultrarus]

The square was drawn on the computer (3D animation).

The creators want to convince us that the robot sees the box and jump him. But actually on the floor, there was no square. The robot was programmed to jump strongly in this place, and not jumping on the square.

[chunkeelover321]

Rergardless, the point is that it jumped like an animal

[TPreyland]

You know if that is going to be used by the U.S military they better figure out how to make it quitter.

[firetyco]

that would scare me if it was running towards me but it would be good in a war... just not spec ops or stealth lol.

[Hurtex]

0:30 Lol since the video started I was thinking on that...that guy read my mind!!

[sg1jrad]

OK, now put a gun on it, then I'll talk. LOL

[24hsw]

its more like a disabled horse thats nitro powered lol and its really scary

[littleredInano]

scary frekin legs but that would be a good troop asister if you could conceal the noise

[levitron80]

Bad ass beast! but sounds like a bee, nice camouflage! lol

[Dean5629]

Maybe you could use it in movies, but I cant really see any other application except maybe scaring kids.

[Keemo577]

The way it moves is creepy looking. It makes me think of some sci-fi hell dog or some other crazy thing. Still, this thing is awesome. It looks like a fun project.

[mikeT1100]

well its definitely not for stealth missions i'll tell you that

[opmike343]

It sounds like a giant vibrator. That might be good for misdirection, haha.

[OMG1234Stefan]

id shit myself if i saw that thing

[ChazZeromus]

Nothing really bleeding edge, just something that's never been done before. Very impressive though, the kicking part was a jaw dropping! It was as if it has "locomotion feeling".

[falgomirrgh]

thats amazing but whats its purpose?

[zelda7ase]

i saw this on "that's impossible" real terminator special.

[Sinan1964]

Does this remind anyone of Terminator? The fact that the military is vested in this project is chilling. First we will develop animal robots to kill, then humanoid robots to kill other humans. We have depersonalized war, where we can't fight our own wars, we need to send robots to kill other humans- it is the ultimate disdain for another person. Who will be heros? Us who send robots to kill, or them who fight robots to save their humanity.

[compdude47]

I don't think that thing could be any scarier.

[evilshadowducky911]

@compdude47 just put miley cyrus' face on it

[firedylan]

Lol trippy... kinda random too.

[rpr986]

this thing is awesome

[facrp]

this is great! imagine when (soon I hope) the research on alternative energies finally develops a cost-effective battery that can efficiently store enough energy to power up the mule/dog. No noise, clean, etc., without the need for a combustion engine and fossil fuels. I'm really looking forward to that. great job!

[krisercolano]

that is the scarest thing iv ever seen

[RhyminSimon27]

now all they have to do is stop the thing from sounding like a whole nest or hornets

[henrythecat11111]

but thats the whole point! nobody would go near that shit in the field lol. would you go towards that sound? Id turn and run the other way.

[akaweedman]

DONT DISS BIGDOG...

its better then yours.you shouldn't laugh at it its pretty cool it dont tip over even if you try to kick it,and it can run pretty fast also jump,it goes thru snow any terrain at all..its way better then what could make so dont be bashing this BIG DOG...

i RATE IT 5/5

thanks for sharing it,its very cool i love it!

[zacksbak]

The type of people it takes to build something like this are those with small dicks, no girlfriends and who have lived in isolation. No aesthetics on this thing..looks like an ugly fuck

[seka1986]

Let's see the one you made.

[LolTater]

It's like a four-legged metal gear-ish thing, except a fuckload creepier.

[BigAl2k6]

Siamese Gekkos!

[jsemgel]

i was thinking in gekkos, but yours its better

[TheLordoftheCows]

the part where they kicked it over was very very impressive. but ya. it NEEDS a head. maybe even just a sensor group.

[nabadm]

Very creepy. From far away it looks an animal with no head. And that buzzing makes it even creepier.

[Yongmonrathen]

It's actually kind of frightening to me when it moves. It's so skeletal and headless.

[nigthmarespell]

UNDEAD (thing) IT HAS NO (beep) HEAD JESUS

[bobzilla211]

oh god please put a head on it. oh god.

[rocwiler0]

looks like the dog from MGS4

[WORX4FUDE]

Sounds like it is playing the worlds largest most conspicuous kazoo.

[amenhotep122]

LOL!

[bordonthestreet]

hahahah truuuue hahah

[SpaceTecFuture]

How does this thing even rival the asimo?

People are really dumb seriously. Anyone who says this thing is better then the asimo, please go get yourself checked out.

[RiotClan]

They're both incredible robots in their own way. Asimo walks and can do a decent run walk fluidly, but the dog is obviously physically stronger, hardier, and has more demanding uses. I personally like the dog better, even if it can't talk and serve you tea. There's no need to be rude about it.

[DjUshkn]

can see that its very quiet, good for stealth attacks and getting around enemies:P

[FighterZer042]

a hind D?!?!?

[Swords01]

METL GEER?

[meadslosh]

That's some Silent Hill shit right there.

[eduardob69]

thats no robot! thats just two really skinny guys who for some reason got their heads tied up together and given huge army bags to carry around... and they must be flyin and rc plane nearby which explains the noise, right?! who's with me?!

[terry1919]

ummm you're on your own stimpy...

[Terminatrix101]

umm... yeah. youre seriously retarded.

the noise is from the gas engine its using to move.

and on the boston dynamics website, it shows the robotics of the BigDog.

god, i hate it when people dont fucking get their facts straight before they comment on a video they obviously know nothing about.

[eduardob69]

yourby far the most idiotic piece of shit that ever walked this planet. a person with his head so fucking deep up his own ass that doesn't get sarcasm and also chooses to blame others for his own piece of shit existence. dont ever reply to my comments you cumbubble.and i hate having to explain myself when i make a comic remark but i guess your too dumb to get it.Theres no way those could be people, i said it because of how impossible it would be for that to be the case, you get it now dumbass?

[Terminatrix101]

*sigh*

if it really was sarcasm then im sorry. i see too many fucking idiots walking around like they know every god damn piece of information that there is to know and i got fed up. so, sorry i lashed out.

and no, to answer your question, im NOT good with sarcasm if i dont hear it spoken. i didnt catch it.

and btw, im a girl.

[hiabex]

It does look like a Metal Gear doesn't it! Looking at this and then looking at the video for MGS4 fills me with dread. The Metal Gear stories are set in a 'near' future. We are doomed.

[chuyine]

looks like a metal gear

[PzAufklLehrBtl3]

Technically impressive, but it's paving the road for future military developments.

This makes me fear those 'intelligent' machines.

[terry1919]

I herd that the USArmy and the Marines want something like this to combat the homicide bombers in Iraq and Israel

[Sabooru]

talk about lazy. cant they just carry the bags on their back. thats wat i do when i go to school

[Grak70]

This robot weighs ~250lbs and can carry 350lbs. I doubt any person could rival that kind of load for more than a few minutes.

[scottfrock]

Nothing says the supplies are over here quite like this robot.

[sino1001peter]

This is abusolutely　impressive.

[271828183141592654]

Good day bmerc999

What's with the galloping version so far?

The video shows it very well tethered.

Can it already walk and gallop on its own?

[lordbladez]

that jump was awesome! stop makin these lol! they look like the things off star wars at the end... stupid fuckin noise it makes too

[271828183141592654]

Great!

[ElFuego121]

thats freaking sick!

[peejaa]

wow that is creepy! cool but creepy :)
