DARPA - Robots That Don't Suck

[VincentTheGuy]

So, i have this thing for robots. Especially if they work properly.

So when i found out about DARPA i almost died because this stuff is astounding.


PETMAN - A full human robot capable of keeping balance and traversing obstacles.

The robot revolution, it's coming.
But these are really cool. I just don't like the name PetMan. Sounds kind of weird.

Well, it uses the same tech as Big Dog so the name was probably adapted for that, or it stands for something.

No silly the Navy and Marines will make a giant mech and the Darpa Chief will get kidnapped and be held hostage at an Alaskan army base.

Imagine. Millions of PETMAN's walking down the city street, all playing "Stayin Alive" with built in speakers. Everyone runs inside and locks the door, but it's too late.

Big dog is so sad ;~;
it scurries trying to regain it's balance like a dog would if you kick it, but it stays by your side.

Well, imagine it with machine guns and the people kicking it being replaced with your least favorite nation.
