Truely astonishing stuff. A bit creepy in fact. I can't actually decide if it's faked up or not. |

Yes it's fake, but probebly not in the way you think. Look carefully at 0:59 - 1:00. I would like to think that Boston Dynamics left that in deliberately for credibility. -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |

Still somewhat crude, though. But gradual and continuous improvements are being made. They should have something truly special to show us in another 20 years from now. |

The big one looks like the US Army's legged squad support system; 400lb payload and 20 mile range over any sort of terrain. Presumably the smaller version is a development of that, perhaps for operations that need something a bit quieter. -- Colin Bignell |

I wonder how miles the big one gets to the gallon? ;-) Tim |

"harryagain" wrote in message ... https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/emb...jvHYbZ9w?rel=0 Truely astonishing stuff. True. A bit creepy in fact. I can't actually decide if it's faked up or not. If it is faked bit very skilfully faked. Interesting watching it go up the stairs, that the feet aren't put in the best places like an animal would do. |
