Boston Dynamics Wildcat Can Gallop — No Strings Attached

Posted by timothy on from the if-you-hear-that-sound-run dept.

Boston Dynamics has been making eye-catching (and sort of creepy) military-oriented robots for several years, and we've noted several times the Big Dog utility robot. The newest creation is the untethered, gas-powered Wildcat; this is definitely not something I want chasing after me. (Not as fast as the previous, tethered version — yet.)

    Oohhhhhhhh...a HORSE! Fuck, why didn't we think of that! Thank god you're here with your ingenius insights. Now all we have to do is to get it eat nothing for long periods of time in the desert while carrying heavy loads 24/7 in a combat environment. Easy!
