Anyone else creeped out by this?

Reminds me of this:

WOW! I've never seen any machine like that, it looked so real when it was slipping...

Go DARPA! My uncle works for Jet Propulsions Labortories in conjunction with NASA and DARPA in developing software for robotics used in space exploration. DARPA's unmanned vehicle competition produces some pretty wild capabilities and most of it is coming out of our America's big universities. Yep, some of it is pretty freaky.

It's actually pretty impressive as far as a whatever it is goes. It reminds me of this:

Yeah, but I'm betting a real mule or sherpas for that matter would be MUCH less expensive...

Oh I loved the robot in the first video I even felt bad for it when it was tripping over. I probably shouldn't though as those kinds of things will probably end up leading the robot revolution one day...

Pretty amazing.

Impressed the heck out of me. Wonder what the boundries are. i.e. jumping, navigation, water, fences, boulders, problem solving etc. Some serious real time computing going on in that beast. Looks like a LOT of fun to play with to get working.

So why is it again that I write computer code for lawyers instead of doing something like this????

Freak'n awesome!
DARPA projects are always cool
