  • Dog vs...dog?

    Local firm has developed a robotic dog (I think it was originally conceived to carry troop supplies where vehicles can't go; it could also act as a search-and-rescue bot). Here it is up against a terrier.

    I'm actually impressed by how the robot moves. The method of locomotion looks just like the dog, you can really see it when they're together like that.

      I'm impressed by its sense of balance (one of the other videos).

        I'm sorry. This is disgraceful, what they do to these poor beings.

          I figured that had to exist somewhere. I'm all for starting a robot rescue 'safe house' to coexist with our future overlords. Who's with me?

            I think it's safe to say what will start the robot revolution.
