2011The AlphaDog Proto is a lab prototype for the Legged Squad Support System, a robot being developed by Boston Dynamics with funding from DARPA and the US Marine Corps. When fully developed the system will carry 400 lbs of payload on 20-mile missions in rough terrain. The first version of the complete robot will be ready in 2012.2012This video depicts field testing of the DARPA Legged Squad Support System (LS3). The goal of the LS3 program is to demonstrate that a legged robot can unburden dismounted squad members by carrying their gear, autonomously following them through rugged terrain, and interpreting verbal and visual commands.What! No weapons platform integration to excite the fluoridate YouTube heads?
I think that's a clear show of weakness in the face of a biped threat.But either way; I believe any common sense Biped can now see in which direction this DARPA national security strategum needs to develop ...
... And with just the addition of a Hide and a Head, we can clearly see the wonders of Design Concept, Creation & Pseudo-Mutagenic Adaptational Development (
P-MAD) at work !!!
And see, on the Warg, the size of the rider. That's how big the human being now is in the schema!
A long road ahead, better taken with big strides? Or maybe you'll just give in, once again, to your jolly self-indulgent responses to a threat. Perhaps some idiot will have an analysis?
Robots are just a garnish on the fact that Human's Worst enemy is human ingenuity's ability to manifest predator behaviour in so many guises and then in time, pass it all off as natural behaviour...
Phase III Please! I'm waiting already!
