Walks like a cheeky horse. I would love to take that puppy out to a horse trail.

They will have to make it with a lot less noise before the military could use it, and figure out how to get it to move along without someone having to use a computer to guide it. But it could have it's uses.

Combine that with the automated sentry turret and you have a nice guard dog.

 

[Dogman]

I was thinking that also.

Sounds like a swarm of bees and walks like a drunk deer.Would have to shoot 1st and ask questions latter if i ever seen or heard that thing in the woods.

As a test bed for new technology, it is rather impressive. I like how it could stabilize and right itself when kicked and slipping on ice. That is something animals can do quite easily, but is hard as hell to do with computers and mechanics. I could see the lessons and technology learned on big dog helping to create a robotic pack mule for soldiers or even a recon or assault (as said above, auto aiming guns would be sweet on those things).

sounds like a giant mosquito. whats the MPG on that baby?? might be a good ride to work..

 

[RogerB]

think I'll hold off for the final product, wonder what the range is on one of those babies

Glad I'm not the only one thinking about Imperial Walkers when I paired guns with this in my head.

[sparky241]

[PapaScout]
