Robot running like a human - General

I think we'd be all fucked if we ran like that.

Now get it to run in a straight line with the ability to turn around corners.

Not really much as it has a support you know. But its cool I guess.

haha fuck off [video=youtube;67CUudkjEG4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67CUudkjEG4[/video]

Looks like somebody mastered QWOP. Still looks kinda silly but atleast it works

PETMAN has swag.

That was surprisingly fast.

Imagine that with twin miniguns running towards you

Oh god, they're developing T-800s

Prances like a human schoolgirl

it runs like it's in an anime

Why do I get the feeling that it should be giggling uncontrollably?

Who is donating them money? I mean this shit ain't cheap and theres really nothing they will achive.

My state always comes up with the weirdest but coolest shit. :v:

[QUOTE=CheeseMan;31762611]haha fuck off [video=youtube;67CUudkjEG4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67CUudkjEG4[/video][/QUOTE] Why does that nasty man shove it when its trying so hard?

[QUOTE=CheeseMan;31762611]haha fuck off [video=youtube;67CUudkjEG4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67CUudkjEG4[/video][/QUOTE] It can catch itself when pushed sideways? Magnificent.

I like his "boom for lateral stabilization." And the fact that he can only run that one circle.

How come all these robots scare the living PISS out of me? I mean, BigDog looked and sounded like something from Silent Hill, this robot (in the top video) resembles a human figure but it's movements are unnatural and disorienting to look at.

[QUOTE=CheeseMan;31762611]haha fuck off [video=youtube;67CUudkjEG4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67CUudkjEG4[/video][/QUOTE] That's designed to walk naturally. This is designed to run naturally. They don't really compare in my opinion.

Honda's still has to squat a bit. [video=youtube;Q3C5sc8b3xM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3C5sc8b3xM[/video]

[QUOTE=paul simon;31768200] Soon[/QUOTE] I expect those things in wars soon.

One day all scientists will work together in a large dome, and the things that they produce will be wonderful.

What's the point of using bipedal movement in a robot? It would make much more sense to just use 4 legs if you're trying to make the robot practical.

[QUOTE=1STrandomman;31769277]That's designed to walk naturally. This is designed to run naturally. They don't really compare in my opinion.[/QUOTE] Except the original is unable to move without support, from what I can see there's no proper weight distribution and the way its legs move mean it'll probably fall over. As well as that, the PETMAN is getting faster and faster, seen in the above video. So yeah, you're wrong.
