Moderators hazelnut Posted October 27, 2008 Moderators Share Posted October 27, 2008 At times it seemed so lifelike in it's movements, I got quite a shock when it got kicked. http://www.bostondynamics.com/content/sec.php?section=BigDog Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted October 27, 2008 Moderators Share Posted October 27, 2008 Pretty neat. But only if it didn't sound so damned annoying I had to kill the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted October 27, 2008 Moderators Share Posted October 27, 2008 That's a neat dog. Scarily realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted October 28, 2008 Moderators Share Posted October 28, 2008 Scarily realistic. Indeed! Especially how it regained its balance reminded me of a real animal. When it was going over that concrete block obstacle I was impressed at how it knew to raise its back legs more to clear them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry39 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Negotiating that obstacle course and maintaining balance was impressive. They called it Big Dog but it looked and sounded more like a bee to me. Especially during the walk in the woods, with the buzzing sound and the packs in the front that resembled big multi-faceted eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunerz Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Well, it sounds more of a "bee dog" rather than a "big dog" to me. I was impressed on how it balances itself, even when kicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I've seen that before on Wohba quite some time ago. It is very impressive how it corrects its balance, but I couldn't help feeling sorry for it when it was kicked. Seems animal movement is so ingrained in me that I automatically attach emotions to it.

razz Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Amazing! Now they need a man/woman-like robot to take Big Dog for a walk. A-Z Freeware Launcher Plus on MajorGeeks A-Z Freeware Launcher Plus on Softpedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
