It's Alive!
Robotics is a field in which I don't have a lot of experience, but I find the results terribly cool. Especially fascinating are those robots which are designed for biofidelic movement, or which mimic the movement capabilities of living creatures. Here is a perfect example: Boston Dynamics' DARPA-funded "BigDog."Mobile Robots Take Baby Steps (full article >>)
"A robot dog could one day become a soldier's best friend -- if an Army program works out as planned."
New Video: Robot Mule Conquers Ice, Snow (full article & video >>)
"BigDog, the alarming life-like, four-legged robot, is back in action. And this time, it's trudging through snow, marching up hills, and picking itself up after slipping on some ice."
