Title: Boston Dynamics at it again - we're screwed
Post by: Slide Panda on October 27, 2009, 12:48:17 PM
Well, they are on their way to making a Terminator

PETMAN Prototype (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67CUudkjEG4#normal)

"Biped robot the balances dynamically using a human-like walking motion. It is a close relative to BigDog, sharing elements of the mechanical design and control.

PETMAN is an anthropomorphic robot for testing chemical protection clothing used by the US Army. Unlike previous suit testers, which had to be supported mechanically and had a limited repertoire of motion, PETMAN will balance itself and move freely; walking, crawling and doing a variety of suit-stressing calisthenics during exposure to chemical warfare agents. PETMAN will also simulate human physiology within the protective suit by controlling temperature, humidity and sweating when necessary, all to provide realistic test conditions. "

Maybe she's really a 'bot?

Wonder why it needs the horizontal links at the top of the legs?  ???
