Don't look at me like that. As I'm going to write another post when I can just put another video here. Its about robots ok. Its funny. Just be quiet and watch it, you'll like it!
I saw a clip of an earlier version of this robot a year or two ago, and it was freaky then. They've clearly been working on it, and now it is scary enough to take on the snake robot I posted about recently. All of the sensing and reacting technology that has gone into making this dog robot boggles the mind, but why did they have to give it no face and two heads?
You may have thought the cockroach controlled robot was creepy, but witness this eerie little snake robot created at Carnegie Mellon University's biorobotics unit. These things will one day rule the earth, and there will be nowhere we can hide. Nowhere.
I am somewhat creeped out by this clip. Yes, its all explained in the clip why they did it, but it's still damn freaky! All the reasons they give, while logical, still beg the question... couldn't they have thought of other ways to explore those concepts. Clearly it is just a cover for the development of a cyberoach army that rules the night. I dread their second version, I'm sure it flies...
