::follow-up:: Robots one step closer to being able to chase people

October 27th, 2009 :: 0 Comments

Remember the robot Toyota is developing that seemed to be the next step in robots moving similar to humans?  Well, they have already been trumped.  Boston Dynamics, the company that has introduced the BigDog rough terrain locomotion robot (video) and a robot able to jump 25 feet in the air (video), have now introduced the Petman.  Petman was developed to test military clothing, but since it walks just like a human, it is just another step in making robots that will be able to chase you.  At this pace, robots will be able to run at 50 mph at peak efficiency in just a few years.
