But it looks more like a headless horse than a dog...

**rowneigerie** · 03-19-2008, 09:10 PM

That's only 158 kilos, less than the Mars Rovers...

**BinasiDombrs** · 03-19-2008, 09:25 PM

I saw this the other day. Absolutely incredible. When the guy kicked it and it managed to stay standing my jaw dropped.

**Drugsonl** · 03-19-2008, 09:28 PM

Very nice!

Yeah, I was totally expecting it to turn around and kick the dudes ass when it didn't fall over.

Mech warriors are withing reach...

If it was lifelike, it would have trampled the guy who kicked it. Well it would have kicked it if the guy trampling it was a terrorist... it does not attack good American citizens

DARPA

That thing was incredible! Get it to Mars!*

* With solor panels and wiper blades!

**Carol** · 03-20-2008, 06:22 PM

As it is now, sure it wouldn't...

The goal was to make it walk and stand as best as possible, not to see if it last on mars atmosphere.

**Argurnenoni** · 03-20-2008, 06:58 PM

Solar panels. Done.

Now what about the fact that there is no sun block? You think that doesn't hurt plastics, wires and such?

Spec. You'd probably need several RTGs to back up those solar panels. The mars rovers move very very slowly because of their meager solar power production. I'm sure this form of locomotion would be even less efficient and require even slower movement.

cool as all hell though. Probably intended for combat environments.

I was thinking more about a Solar recharging platform that unfolds after it lands, of course.

I am scared, it is amazing

When It didnt fall, I looked closer to see if it wasnt a dog in a costume, it is amazing
