DocM Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 PETMAN, the anthropomorphic robot from DoD contractor Boston Dynamics is getting even more human-like. Boston Dynamics also makes the Big Dog pack-bot and the fastest legged robot - Cheetah. http://bostondynamics.com/robot_petman.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisp Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 That's amazing, but the biggest problems with human like robots is the ability to be stable on two legs on its own. Very human like though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those cables are data/power and a non-supporting safety strap. Here's an earlier version taking some side impacts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Montage Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Those cables are data/power and a non-supporting safety strap. In case it attacks us? ;) But sorry, 2 of the cables look very much to be attached to counterweights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
