Holy insane robotics bat man.....cheetah robot runs 28mph!

[Brian Lohnes]

Yeah, it is gettin' weird folks. This video is wild. It shows a DARPA project being developed by a firm (presumably for military use). This robot runs 28 friggin' MPH on a treadmill.

WILD -

Imagine how long the cord would have to be on that thing, if you were going to herd pigs with it or something.

90% of DARPA projects are black. You might want to consider what's behind the curtain - so to speak. That vid is a white project.


and yeah - its gonna get ALLOT weirder in 5 yrs or so. Robotics is starting to come of age.

[Brian Lohnes]

I sleep better at night knowing that these guys are on our side.

For some reason, I see Jim's boys involved in this stuff someday....and that makes me sleep better still!

Here come the Terminators!

[DanStokes]

If they are programmed to wipe out mice, are they the Exterminators?

Dan

yes, and they say "I'll be back with cheese"

[Caveman Tony]

When will they develop a robot that can deal with moron drivers for me?

[A/Fuel]

Kinda reminded me of a horse, but not as graceful at slower speeds. It was getting it's act togather though the faster it went.

Yeah but as we head closer to a civil revolt, imagine those things trying to run down your friends and family. Yikes. The Terminator scenario is probably closer than we all want to admit.

[Monk]

Knock knock.
Who’s there?
A robot.
Oh, shit.

[A/Fuel]

Yeah, I would freak if I seen that thing running at me.
