Amazing Quadruped Autonomous Robot
Boston Dynamics has invented the most amazing autonomous Robot that they call BigDog which walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. This robot reminds me of a cross between RoboCop and a Star Wars’ Imperial Walker. The BigDog robot runs at 4 mph, climbs slopes up to 35 degrees, walks across rubble, and carries a 340 lb load! They say, and you can hear, that it is powered by a two stroke gas engine and has articulated legs like an animal. Those legas are controlled by an on-board computer that manages locomotion, servos and sensors. The BigDog program is funded by DARPA.
