    You should see it in person. I've been to conference papers about it with the people working on it too.

    Our research lab is currently trying to find out how much they'll sell for and when so we can get one. :)

  • F*ck me, they're so [i]agile[/i]! I never thought you could perfect the weight distribution in robotic servos to that extent! :eek:

    That's no Russian ballet, but damn those movements are fluid and even the Russian ballet couldn't get the synconizartion that those little guys get.

    Put some sort of advanced AI behind them and you've got a very practical looking robot.

    Yeah, and now waiting for when they make that kind of robot which was in Robocop one. (and three also)

    Just have to hope that they don't use Microsoft's OS on it!:D
  • whow....

    my want. provided those fingers move as well... :) kinda useless to have a robot that can't pick anything up :)

    There's another video on that site where one of them throws a ball like a baseball pitcher, including cocking the arm and pulling one leg up, turning his head to check first and third bases, then throwing overhand. Most impressive.

    The new Era is going to be full of wars and such, And everthing will be controled by the US and religion. Thats called a dark age.

    Thats the Future Kiddys.

    Yes, the fingers do move.
    If you're dreaming of getting one for christmas, better start saving now for a future christmas. The price has been quoted as being "as much as a luxury car."
  • :eek: Wow. :eek:
  • so, quarter to half mil. not as bad as I expected actually.

    Id call it a golden age... best period of time in general since the end of the roman repulic and the birth of the roman empire.

    Sadly the roman empire was corrupt

    Sadly, every institution involving humans was and is corrupt.

    Goto agree with that!

    Only the singular rule of the Emperors made it corrupt, the Romans shouldn't have put all their eggs in one basket.

    Anyway, bring back the Byzantine Empire, I say... Christendom at its finest.

    Holy cow! Those little guys are fantastic! The motion they can create is unbelievable! I remember the Aibos, and how rough their movement was at times. Hell, even Honda's Asimo is bested ten times over by the sony researchers. Its balance is perfect, it can perform lateral movements, it can precisely control and vary the speed of all movements.

    We have a winner! :D

    No, but you could at least get the name of the person you're quoting right. :)
  • Garrr, no two people should ever use the same sig... when I read that, I had to scroll up and check three times before I figured out what you meant... I mean, what did you expect me to do, MT, read the name of the poster? :p

    The senate was moderatly corrupt, but as long as the tribunes were around it functioned pretty well. No Rome died with the murder of the Graki brothers, and everything that came after was horrible.

    Sigh, Shakespear got it wrong, Brutus was the hero, not the tragic villian.

    Yeah, There's very little thinking what kind of robots DARPA is designing.

    I'm pretty sure that they have much going on behind the curtains on area of robotics.
