Why Everyone Should Read Slashdot
Uncle Andrew
Just picked this up off /. Even if you aren’t a geek, you can’t not want to see the following video of the Big Dog, a quadrupedal robot developed by Boston Dynamics with funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Lots of other cool ‘bots to look at at BD’s site as well. Get stuffed, Aibo, I want a Big Dog for Xmas!
Warning: robot makes annoying insectile buzzing sound. Turn your speakers down.
