- EMFK, on 10/30/2009, -0/+14Very cool. I can't imagine how much that costs.
- benroy, on 10/30/2009, -2/+11Stick a fleshlight between it's legs, slap a wig on it, teach it reverse-cowgirl and i think we may have a winner here.
- jarjarbinx, on 10/30/2009, -1/+8but the government paid private companies to do this. Without the government, there was no incentive to make this. If you want real private company, look at ASIMO, Honda's robot that does not even walk as good as this thing....
- alanocu, on 10/30/2009, -3/+9Excellent technology. Anything to assist our women and men on the battlefield; anything that can assist in saving lives, saving lives of our soldiers.......all for it.
- jesusfreak216, on 10/30/2009, -0/+6This has all happened before it will all happen again.
- Tarkaan, on 10/30/2009, -1/+6That's a lot of money to spend on a chemical tester, when we've got elementary schools FULL of kids we can use.
- fragMasterFlash, on 10/30/2009, -0/+5Brilliant million dollar new technology you've got there. I can't wait to see what the $500 Chinese knockoffs look like. What's that, they are toting machine guns?!?!

- Kenks, on 10/30/2009, -0/+4Who could bury that comment?
- Twag86, on 10/30/2009, -0/+4METAL GEAR!!!!!!!
- Catchpen, on 10/30/2009, -0/+3Petman riding Bigdog = One of the horsemen of the apocalypse Skynet style
- sageerrant, on 10/31/2009, -0/+2Although a torso would really be more useful in that arrangement.
- tangorooster, on 10/30/2009, -0/+2If Big-Dog's brother is a Pet-Man, what is that suppose to make us?
- Cyborg326, on 10/30/2009, -0/+2http://digg.com/tech_news/Boston_Dynamics_Robots_T ...
^this one has videos of all of their robots.
Just sayin... - agentsrecord, on 10/30/2009, -0/+2I could have hours and hours of fun ***** with that thing.
Provided it can't kick back when irritated. - mudgie, on 10/30/2009, -0/+1It's stuff like this that makes me think Futurama's not far off the mark.
- millerlite117, on 10/30/2009, -0/+1Video of BigDog,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHJJQ0zNNOM - Vanksy, on 10/30/2009, -0/+1now we need an upper body.
- Dinner, on 10/30/2009, -0/+1Nooooooooooooooo
But does it *scream* like BigDog? Let's find out. - Dinner, on 10/30/2009, -0/+1No. Jesus. It's fairly stealthy.
It is some sort of horrible, staggering, black, glossy Guillermo del Toro creature.
Boston Dynamics designs, common themes: NOT HAVING A HEAD - OpCzar, on 11/09/2009, -0/+1This:

- benroy, on 10/30/2009, -0/+1If anybody needs to be tested for chemicals it's probably those damn kids.
- bazzoola, on 10/30/2009, -0/+1They should call it grandfather robot.
Arched back walking machine. - MikeMania, on 10/30/2009, -0/+1Hmm, I was listening to Around the World and it goes pretty well with the video.
- toink, on 10/30/2009, -0/+1My thoughts exactly..
- FitteMas, on 10/30/2009, -0/+1Cool.. but why does it make me think of a drunk man carrying a midget walking angrily away from something
- Twag86, on 10/30/2009, -0/+1Woah, hivemind (see below comment)
- ricemonster, on 10/30/2009, -1/+2Why has no one mentioned Metal Gear yet?
- CBKBAMF, on 10/30/2009, -0/+1Terminator v1.2r3
- Garciat, on 10/31/2009, -0/+1That made me laugh for no reason.
- OpCzar, on 11/09/2009, -0/+1Which robotic legs will be used first?
*Four Legs
*2 Legs
*2 Legs attached to human's (exoskeleton)
My money is on the last one. The Hulc won't slow down the team trying to figure out how to navigate and won't give away their position with that loud gas engine:

- Dustmuffins, on 10/30/2009, -7/+1Private companies do it better, this is just one example.
