Good thing it sounded like a fly and it wasn't hunting season. It's amazing how technology is advancing so fast. US robotics is pretty good, but this steps it up a notch. I hope stuff like this keeps coming.

That thing is fucking scary. If it walked by my house right now I'd shit my pants for sure.

Yeah not going to lie that thing freaks me out just a little bit.
That thing can jump pretty high.
Its crazy to think how rapidly technology is advancing.

Freaky. Reminds me of that one chick from the last Exorcist.

I guess I'm going to live through an era with robot soldiers, great. Very sad, yet progressively promising. I don't know.

Holy fuck!!! Is that fucking scary or what??? Its movements are just creepy. I don't think i'd be able to fight it. I would be too scared. It would give me a beat down before i get pissed enough to fight back.

It scared the crap out of me though.

I think what they are missing is back movement, and feet to a lesser extent. A lot of the speed in quadrupeds come from the back muscles. Either the back and forth motion of reptiles or an up down motion in mammals.


I'm waiting for some zoids.

its ability to balance under such conditions is insane...

and it kinda looks like those things from cloverfield in a few of the back lit shots...

it looks REALLY scary when trying to regain its balance...like a monster that is coming at you while youre shooting it...and it just kinda trips but gets back up super fast and all unnatural...ugh...

"excuse me?"

"CAN YOU FUCK IT?!"

that is so human-like its disturbing

This is exactly why I posted this. Just think how fast tech is moving.

The first computer ABC was concieved in 1937 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atanasoff%E2%80%93Berry_Computer

70 years later and we have this!

Ever see the movie A.I.? I definitely see this in the future, maybe not in our lifetime, but it will happen. Great movie btw. I am a tech geek, but this stuff truly does scare me. Same time it is cool as hell. I want to pilot a gundam, now that would be badass.

Movement was creepy but cool.

Balance is superb.

Robot soldiers are just like real soldiers... shoot them in a weak spot and they'll go down.

Crazy how animal like it's movement is. It seems to mimic the right animal to suit the terrain - goat, horse, crab...

That thing is crazy.

Like freaky crazy. I saw that a few weeks ago and was like, "Shit looks un stable". Then they kicked it and it didn't fall over...

Holy shit...

When they kicked it...

The ice...

This thing is like better than humans. I would have ate shit on that ice, I'm sure.

It's mimicry of a live creatures movements, albeit a little stiff, are amazing. Like many of you guys, I'd shit my pants if I saw that running down the street, or towards me.

Except when it goes down, someone doesn't loose a son, brother, father, sister, mother, etc.


That thing is amazing. The code that is involved in something like that must be nuts.

The next 20 years is truly going to be amazing.

That shit is creepy as fuck yet awesomely amazing.

Too bad that sooner or later they will become sentient beings and go on a rampage wiping out the human race.

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

Either that, or mass cloning. Sound familiar?? I call dibs on being the original copy.
