I’ve been scared of Big Dog for awhile. But finally, here’s a video of it interacting with the military. And what’s funny… they go on and on about how legs are better for traversing than tread or wheels. That this thing will carry a soldiers gear. And then I realized, it’s a pack mule. They reinvented the pack mule. They’re morons.
Although there are some creepy hints about it aiding in combat maneuvers, of course. And if you watch to the end, the tv personality smiles at the thought of bipedial robot soliders. What a world. Oh, also, if you read Danger Room, where I stumbled across this, you’d know that we’re gonna be in Afghanistan until around 2025. On that note, good night.
what’s with the field reporter’s cadence? he sounds very stepford– almost like a robot.
