Imagine riding a Segway down the sidewalk with this thing trotting beside you (on a leash perhaps?) carrying your books or belongings. The future looks like that.
It would probably cost less just to hire more dudes to carry all that shit. Still a very interesting proof of concept. Even if it does sound like what it probably sounds like to get your hair cut inside of a bee hive.
i would like to ad that back in the day, when they had robot battles (the name escapes me right now) any robot that had working legs failed miserable against the wedges that would flip the shit out of them. that being said, i was a little skeptical of your design.. but after watching the video i must say that is one cool robot. great work on making it able to take a kick to the side
How can they make pieces of metal and plastic walk using computers and electronics but they can't build a suit for a paralyzed man to walk using his own brain plus these electronics and motors?
@uhhhhkevin I doubt it. Staying disabled is making thousands of people hundreds of millions in profit. They love to sell their chinese $200 wheelchairs and bill medicare $5000.
Imagine the horror on the face of a terrorist who's never been outside of his rural village when he sees a bored soldier riding this like a horse instead of using it as a pack mule. Talk about psychological warfare!
Estoy convencido de que quieren hacer ejércitos de robots. Noticia relacionada: "Científicos de Zaragoza logran mover un robot con la mente desde Japón" (15/05/2009).
ROFLMAO....An abomination?....it's a toaster with legs. The average new car is smarter than this thing. You'd better start heaving out your appliances eh?.
why... you could just make a cool remote control car its basicly the same thing... except a remote control car is faster more sturdy not quite as loud...
Despite the technological marvel that this thing really is...if it's designed to carry 4 ruck sacks...why not a real mule? I'm guessing the amount of food and water you have to carry for an animal is more than the amount of gas you'll have to carry to power this beast?
I did think about saying spongiform encephalopathy(and just saying it makes me smile, it must be one of the best to say) but as the robot is neither human nor animal, neither applies really. Most people wont know what spongiform encephalopathy(smile again!) is and I thought mad cow desease didn't fit. The desease in humans is still spongiform encephalopathy, Creutzfeldt and Jakob just recognised it in humans.
Note: Mad Cow desease refers to cattle and not my ex
I think the noise would be scary enough. Because you'd know what to expect. This is a prototype imagine the real deal. Shit even if it was made to be quite, fast and more agile I'd be an A-hole and put some type of noise maker on it to make it more intimidating. 8-0
Scenario: You're camping alone in the woods. It's twilight. Suddenly, there is an unearthly buzzing noise. It gets closer....closer....and suddenly, THIS thing comes hopping out of the bushes.
I dunno about you guys, but if I was trudging through the mountains of Afghanistan the last thing I would want in tow is a stunt robot from the exorcist complete with amplified leaf blower engine. This isn't the most tactical piece of equipment out there. A magnet for taliban RPG's? Mind you, if I was in the taliban and saw this thing coming towards me, I'd be nose deep in my Koran looking for the equivalent to holy water. Boo ya
This is definitely one of the most amazing robots ever. The ability to catch it's self after slipping/being kicked is amazing. Asimo is the only robot that I can think that compares to this one.
It runs like a unicorn but when it's kicked it reminds me of a gorilla with its long arm. I doubt they would use, but wouldn't that be the greatest job in the world, to be a certified robot kicker, all day, nothing but kicking robots in a scheme to tip them.
0:362:40 LOL.. and WOW it responds very fast like a real animal.. I believe it will not take long until they load this robots with machineguns and anti-armor
its too noisy... the enemy will hear us from a mile away... looks weird too... but kewl... nice job... the part where he kiks it is freaking awesome, good stability
Noisy thing but I like how it can right itself after being pushed, that's very good and I bet pretty expensive to make. Nice it can go through most terrains, you'd need different wider feet for deep snow, other than that, your good!
"weird im scared your right they r gonna take over along with apes. :-S"
Lol! Your right. The Apes will emerge on the horizon mounted on the back of these robot pack horses. Listen out for the irritating motor sound and Cockney dancing legs for they will carry the ape man!
wow that's umm neat ^_^
