「どう見ても中に人間が入っている」なロボ、ボストンダイナミクス社のBigDog。皆の人気者だ。最近はまた進化して、前方に大型のマニピュレータがくっついたらしい。Dogっぽさ増したじゃん。

“歩兵に(蹴られても)ついて歩く荷役ロボとして設計された BigDog が非整地での走破性という実用のため生物的な動きを部分的に取り入れているのに対して、PETMAN の設計思想は人間のプロポーションと動きの再現そのもの。といっても人間の兵士に混ざって戦闘に参加するためではなく(今のところは)、軍用の化学防護服をより現実的な環境でテストするため。人間の兵士とおなじように手足を動かし歩き匍匐することで、実使用に近い負荷を防護服に与え性能を計ることが目的です。そのためPETMANはリアルな動きだけでなく、テスト状況に応じた体温・湿度・発汗(!) といった機能まで与えられる予定。”

Boston Dynamics' robot family

There’s been a lot of very cool things coming out of Boston Dynamics the last couple of years (with funding from DARPA), with the following being their latest.  A robot which is able to climb over boxes, and “scoot” over narrow passages with the help of very real looking legs, and terrifyingly skinny arms.

If that doesn’t scare you, below is the latest from their “Big Dog” project, which now seems to be able to follow commands, and also move around un-tethered from power and hydraulics.  

An example of Big Dog following instructions and navigating difficult terrain:

An example of Big Dog with some impressive balancing features, e.g. someone “kicking” Big Dog while moving, and Big Dog being able to re-balance itself and continue on

P.s. DARPA is a US agency, devoted to building new technologies for the military

Of all the robots we fear will one day rise up and subjugate humanity to an unyielding reign of terror, none is closer to our hearts than Boston Dynamic’s awesome — and terrifying, as seen in its 2008 video — BigDog.
