Remember Boston Dynamic's bipedal terminator robot? He wears clothes now

[Lord of Ears]

[QUOTE=Cone;40179766]there's something really really creepy about the way that it crouches down and scans the area but i can't quite put my finger on it[/QUOTE]

it doesn't look quite natural in its movements
it wouldn't be as creepy if it wasn't wearing clothes, but give it a jumpsuit and a gasmask, and suddenly it's a fuckin' snork

[Gekkosan]

[QUOTE=Rediscover;40179519]are those wires holding it up, or are they just there in case he falls over or something?

because if its the former i'm not all that impressed[/QUOTE]

The robot is wired to a roomful of computers.

If that answers your question.

[XxNemisis116xX]

They need to make it strut with clothes now
Just imagine that big motherfucker swagging into the battlefield tanking bullets like nobodys business

[Awesomecaek]

Now teach it how to dance.

[QUOTE=T2L_Goose;40180223]The ropes you see are there for support when and if the robot decides to malfunction or lose power. That way the thing doesn't slam into the ground and they lose millions of dollars of engineering.[/QUOTE]

It's actually there to provide the hydraulic power

[Joazzz]

should have two red LEDs inside the mask

[Kegan]

If our future robot overlords have THIS much swagger. Then I for one welcome it.

Time to use my old avatar again.

Take this robot, make an interface to make it controllable with oculus rift, marvel at the genius of mankind, then watch this horrible movie:

And then burn it all up.

[ImCrimson]

That's cool as shit and frightening at the same time.

[slater]

I reckon it walks like Techno Viking more than a strut.

[BrickInTheHead]

when it started squatting and turning from side to side i just heard "can you smell what the rock is cookin" in my head

[DrasarSalman]

Too bad this is actually just for testing hazard suits rater than being an actual walking robot who walks.

[Captain Charles]

Oh look, now we have STALKER NPCs in real life.

99 unexpected ends of line but funk ain't one.

[mac338]

Oh Jesus, so OP, you're telling me that these are Petmen?

Because that would make a lot of sense.

It's missing the massive boots.

[ScoutKing]

Why couldn't they dress it up in something less terrifying.

[GAH_caek]

They should've dressed him up in a Leisure suit

[dedo678]

This is so uncanny, it bothers me.
