Very cool research
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008Someday I’ll get good at this blogging stuff - so far I really suck at any kind of regularity.
At any rate, you just gotta check out this link - it’s very cool, but a bit creepy. It’s called Big Dog and it’s a 4 legged autonomous “vehicle”. Watching the video is just a bit weird. I have to admit that the very first bit when it’s shown walking through the woods the very first thing that came to my mind was Monty Python. It just reminded me of some of the parts when they’re carrying baggage on the Quest for the Holy Grail.
It does do some amazing things and it has better balance than I do on some days.
