Get back to me when it has jetpacks and a sword...
Then we'll talk...
They've done a nice job on the engineering, but the design is hardly that practical, they are using a terrible walking gait, they really need a few blokes from Boston Dynamics over there to work on walking...
I think to get realistic, responsive walking / movement under control they would also need some serious additional power.
Nice choice on the servo drives though.

Never noticed that thumbnail before. Is that a BLACKED reference? :v:
Seems like it's designed for aesthetics and selling the company rather than for actual research and development.
Uhm I'm sorry but the perfect mech already exists?

I'm so confused right now
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;52666844]imho the premise in of itself is deeply flawed. Having the mech be bipedal with big heavy limbs swaying around needlessly complicates the machine. There's few bipedal animals probably for this reason, many of those like primates only being part time bipeds and birds doing so without big heavy arms moving around to topple them over.
What would be even better is a four legged robot like big dog, or if you want to simplify further use wheels or treads. Even better don't even have a heavy and fragile human who could get stuck if it fell over in it at all. A remotely operated pair of robotic arms on a wheeled platform maybe without hands just have the tools/weapon mounted directly, would do everything the method could cheaper, more reliably and without endangering a person.[/QUOTE]
Zoids had it right.

Yes, [URL="http://www.robotplatform.com/knowledge/Classification_of_Robots/legged_robots.html"]having more legs makes dynamics/kinematics easier to compute for when static/not-moving however this comes with the marginal returns and harder aspect of coordinating multiple legs when you go beyond four or six legs.[/URL]

I looked that up and all I'm getting is porn.

I looked that up and I'm not getting any porn.
Link pls?

pretty sure it's a parody of this :v:
