I’ve seen earlier video snippets of the ‘Big Dog’ robot that Boston Dynamics has been working on, but this one is longer, more varied, and more unsettling:
This device looks, sounds, and moves like the unnatural offspring of H. P. Lovecraft’s psyche and the Terminator. At times, you’d swear that two people had been horribly fused, face to face, into the body of a giant, wingless, robotic bee. All told, this video all by itself is creepier and scarier than 90% of the SciFi Channel’s usual Saturday lineup of creature features.
Kind of cool, though. Hat tip to the Register. ..bruce w..
