Digg - 3 Robots That Move Just Like Animals
The guy who worked on the fly gave a presentation at a convention I was at and he not only explained how it was made and everything like in the video but in more detail, but also uses of microrobots like the fly, such as for surveillance in the military.
Thousands of these flies with tiny cameras could easily scope out an entire region within hours.
Just don't let Bush get his hands on them to spy on us

Honestly, I'd prefer to see animals that move just like robots.
|
|
|
I like doing the robot when I go out to night clubs.

This story would be more interesting if the robots moved like Michael Jackson.

Doesn't move like an animal, but I was stunned when I saw this video of BigDog in action.
It holds its balance even when kicked!
I mean, for someone who remembers just ten years ago as Discovery Channel showed videos of how tough it was to have a robot walk and hold balance, this was stunning.

My claim to non-offtopicness is the fact that this robot has an animal's name.
Sort of. ;)

That fish seemed the most realistic, although the tailfin lagged behind the body a little too much.
I wish there had been more footage of the fly.

"If this research one day spawns an uncomplaining robotic mule to carry our physical burdens or dogs that can save children from fiery buildings without fear of harm."
Sentence fragment!
If so, then WHAT?
WHAT???

Imagine if we had some sort of machine to carry our physical burdens, like a robotic mule or something.
It would be great!
If we put wheels on it, we could probably even ride it and drive it around, like some sort of "horeseless carriage," if you will.

"If this research one day spawns an uncomplaining robotic mule to carry our physical burdens or dogs that can save children from fiery buildings without fear of harm."
The suspense is killing me.
Save me Bot-Hound!

"If this research one day spawns an uncomplaining robotic mule to carry our physical burdens or dogs that can save children from fiery buildings without fear of harm, then perhaps it might also be able to save us from sentence fragments."

Mirror anyone?

|
Robots that can carry burdens?
They are called cars.

4. Asimo moves like an ape.

"If this research one day spawns an uncomplaining robotic mule to carry our physical burdens or dogs that can save children from fiery buildings without fear of harm then maybe it can even create a robot that will automatically repair websites that have been overcome by excessive traffic."

I'm pretty excited for robots like dog from half life 2 to be built
