DocM Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 PETMAN is an anthropomorphic (humanoid) robot being developed for the DoD/US Army by Boston Dynamics, an MIT spinoff and one of the most advanced robotics outfits going. They have also done a lot of work with the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division and DARPA - the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Officially it's for the endurance testing of uniforms and other soldier gear. Watch the video and decide for yourself what PETMAN's progeny will be doing in 10 years.? Note: the umbilicals don't really support PETMAN - they are control, instrumentation and safety cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
