If I saw one of these (Well, youd hear it first) walking down the street my impulse, after running, would be to kill the damn thing. Something about it is really unsettling...
-
That has a very odd gait about it, its very spooky.
-
Incredibly organic movement for a machine
-
that was quality when he booted it :D
wonder what the reaction would be if it was covered in real fur and let loose in a London park........
-
That is very cool and as you say abit freaky. How long untill its spriting, has a gun and claws and aswell as correcting itself when kicked it then retaliates? :P
-
Fantastic !!!!
-
Very, very impressive.

That walks better than Kris @ TEK when hes had a few on a night out!
Something makes me think judgement day is coming in the form of buzzing 4 legged monsters before long! :rofl:
-
Has anyone got a link to a decent quality copy of the original video that did the rounds a while back?
i.e. the one that got them the funding in the first place. I remember it being cool back then but nowhere near this level.

I want johny 5 tracks for my computer.

for me the most impressive bit is when it slips on the ice and just catches itself and keeps going. Amazing.
-
Next theyll program it and show it slipping on the ice and saying "Sod this" and sitting down.

its when it detects the patch of ice and automatically uses its built in flame thrower to melt it before proceeding that you have to get scared.
