awesome yet scary

The enemy will shit themselves with these coming after them

 

[Harrod]

Reminds me of some of the stuff from the movie screamers.

that cheetah one was creepy as shit. I can just imagine a revolution type scenario where freedom fighter are running from some dystopian future and that thing comes tear assing around a corner armed and running them down.

Ive been following boston dynamics for awhile. I hate their stuff. Its creepy and scary. I know the positive uses for it all but I also know its a military R&D company so all that will ever do is be used to kill or support the killing of people, most likely innocent.

Powered by beehives.

Non-comedy answer, probably an air compressor or hydraulic pump to drive the legs. Must have a gas engine in it to run those.

 

[wirednuts]

make it nuclear powered and send it to afghanistan.

 

[Gothgar]

Pretty bad ass.

 

[MontyAC]

I for one welcome our new robot dog overlords.

 

[Jeff7]

The cheetah needs a speed boost, jaws, and a vision system. Then I would take it to the park and play "fetch."

If it's fast enough, and has a quick vision system and physics engine, it could even run faster than the ball, catching it every time.



Or for more fun, pair it with this pitching robot arm.

You could also have some of these fun things skittering after you.
