I've seen that. That think is fuck'n freaky. Especially the way it recovers when he kicks it or when it slipped.

Gives me the shivers.
 
Every time I watch this video I love it.
For a start, it means we'll get more realistic AIBOs, and a dog that can check my email and take photos with its nose is the sort of pet I want... Although admittedly, I doubt it'd be doing my feet any favours on a cold night.

But yeah, if you were on a battle field, and a a few dozen of those came at you from over the hill, I think you'd shit your pants. They're going to make excellent combat drones, that's for sure.
 
lol. i thought it was a remake of "top secret!".

yeah, nano technology and this aibot stuff, i'd say we are fucked
 
Practical applications?

Automatic transport carrier to jungles and rough terrain? Strap a gps system and a guidance module and you're set. Good if it's back and forth between two points? Maybe carrying stuff up and down hills.
 
Yeah, those things are meant to be used as transport.

Although one obvious choice would be to mount a cannon on it to be fired by a human operator. Hell, with better reflexes, it might be able to counteract the recoil.

Pack them with explosives and run them into enemy camp might also be nice.

As for the "shitting yourself" factor, you could also just have a horde of 40-50 of them run into enemy camp doing nothing.

Shoot them as they are running out of their base wild-eyed.

Soo... I would need about 4 thousand, me thinks?

I would like to the first to welcome our new robotic masters. If there is any way that I can help in the take over of Earth, I am willing to assist. All I ask for is to be left lone... and Washington State.
 
Someone mentioned in Youtube comments that it's making that much noise only because it's carrying it's maximum load, but that it would be silent without it! Practical applications ?! I've played too many video games and read too much SF to even think about it without feeling uneasy.

Click to expand...

When it's in the lab there's no wieght on it, you can hear its feet clip-clop on the concrete but nothing else, and when it climbs the cinderblocks, even with weight strapped on it all you hear is it's feet hitting the blocks.

Fuckin' cool, I wanna work there!
 
sounds like its running an RC model engine to power it, must have direct power in the lab cos its silent there
