Once they get some good artificial intelligence algorithms loaded on this machine, it will be force to be reckoned with. It can even stand back up when it gets knocked down by evil humans! buy kamagra effervescent online https://www.mydentalplace.com/wp-content/languages/en/kamagra-effervescent.html no prescription
Boston Dynamics, previously featured here, is a Google-owned robotics company that just released a new design — Spot, the Robot Dog.
From Boston Dynamics:
“Spot is a four-legged robot designed for indoor and outdoor operation. It is electrically powered and hydraulically actuated. Spot has a sensor head that helps it navigate and negotiate rough terrain. Spot weighs about 160 lbs.”
I actually started to feel some empathy for Spot when he was being kicked by the engineer. It responded in such an organic way… rapidly gaining its balance and then pausing for a moment to digest the assault.
The applications for these machines are seemingly endless. They can carry supplies into dangerous environments (i.e. helping soldiers move equipment), assist the disabled with chores, or simply be a man’s new robot best friend. Exciting times ahead…
The Karate Kid Robot was designed by Boston Dynamics (now owned by Google) and programmed by the robotics lab at the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC). The robot stands at 6 ft 2 in tall and weighs in at 330 lbs! buy levitra soft online https://nouvita.co.uk/wp-content/languages/en/levitra-soft.html no prescription
And now that we’re teaching it how to do karate, this robot is truly becoming a fighting machine.
Here’s a bio from Boston Dynamics:
“Atlas (the trade name) is a high mobility, humanoid robot designed to negotiate outdoor, rough terrain. Atlas can walk bipedally leaving the upper limbs free to lift, carry, and manipulate the environment. In extremely challenging terrain, Atlas is strong and coordinated enough to climb using hands and feet, to pick its way through congested spaces.
Articulated, sensate hands will enable Atlas to use tools designed for human use. buy tadalista ct online https://nouvita.co.uk/wp-content/languages/en/tadalista-ct.html no prescription
Atlas includes 28 hydraulically-actuated degrees of freedom, two hands, arms, legs, feet and a torso.
An articulated sensor head includes stereo cameras and a laser range finder. Atlas is powered from an off-board, electric power supply via a flexible tether.
Several copies of the Atlas robot are being provided as Government Furnished Equipment for the DARPA Robotics Challenge program with delivery scheduled in the summer of 2013.”
Ian competed in the US Government’s Robot Olympics, and was apparently able to walk, carry a fire hose, and get in a car and drive it. I’m impressed! The robot only came in second, so I was terribly curious to find out who won! buy propecia online https://nouvita.co.uk/wp-content/languages/en/propecia.html no prescription

It was SCHAFT, from Japan (no surprise). Here’s the Shaft “highlight reel,” so to speak:
Now, we just need to see Atlas and SCHAFT fight in a death match.
