Uh-Oh: Robotic BigDog Now Has A Brick-Throwing Head
Author: Matthew Baker
How do you make a BigDog quadruped robot even more terrifying? Simple, add a cinderblock-throwing head attachment. It can actually chuck them pretty far too — probably about as far as I could. So if it ever comes down to a cinderblock throwing duel to the death, it could be anybody’s game. I only ask you avenge my death when it kills me.

I Give Up: BigDog Robotic Mule Now Voice Controlled
Author: Stefanie Jenkins
This is the most recent video clip from DARPA, including a voice controlled LS3 (Legged Squad Support System), the grand son of BigDog. It takes voice commands now. Things like, “Power on” and “ATTACK!” Ultimately, it will stop listening. And that day, my pals, will be a Tuesday. A really, really shitty Tuesday. The kind even tacos cannot make better.
Struck the jump for the video clip.

Video: AlphaDog Is A Bigger, Faster, Quieter BigDog
Author: Christen Arquette
I’m sure all of you remember BigDog, the utterly terrifying biomimetic robot platform that dances over rough terrain on weird legs and makes a sound like it’s full of angry bees. You didn’t think they were going to give up on it, did you? No, it’s been a rousing success apparently, so much so that they decided to build one that outdoes the original in every way.
The AlphaDog, as they’re calling it, was created to be basically the practical version of BigDog, which, while compelling and scary, was too loud and couldn’t carry enough stuff. AlphaDog, on the other hand, will carry 400 pounds of gear for 20 miles in a day, without needing to be refueled.
Be sure to watch the video to the end. The now-traditional “shoving of the quadrupedal robot platform” is great, and then you get to see a new creepy behavior as it rights itself in an unreal way from a lying position.
Right now it’s powered externally and running on rails, but it’s not so hard to think of this thing in the field. With a GPS unit and some rudimentary depth-sensing cameras, it could confidently navigate most terrain or follow its “masters” along a trail. Though I doubt that feature will make it into first production AlphaDogs, scheduled for 2012.
Boston Dynamics’ webpage doesn’t have too much extra info, so keep an eye on their YouTube account for news.

The videos below are just freaking BADASS, or just plain freaky!
This is a project out of Boston Dynamics dubbed BigDog, the most advanced rough terrain robot on earth. It walks, runs (4 mph in tests), climbs (up to 35 degrees) carrying heavy loads, and can adjust to slippery conditions such as snow or mud. The legs work much like the animal it is modeled after with articulating joints. Powered by a hydraulic actuation system it recycles energy with each step and can adjust to the terrain dynamically. This model is 3 feet long, 2.5 feet tall and weighs 240 lbs. Using the gyro it can also maintain stability when side impact occurs, as seen in the video below.
In the first of the videos I keep expecting to see it lift its leg on the tree.
