I've never actually been to Africa or anything, but I have seen cheetahs at the zoo, and that
isn't a cheetah :v

Is it running backwards?
If not that's not a cheetah. More like that crab thing from the 1st Sonic game.

Yes. They are the actual US Organization that funds SCIENCE! in the way most people think of
science development centers.

That and invisible tanks.

on a flat surface going only straight. still, robots are progressing
its comforting to know that they cant really be used though unless a much stronger,
revolutionary, battery is developed somehow

God dammit DARPA stop making things that might destroy human civilization.
The last thing you made that had any civilian use was the internet and it could be argued that
did a good enough job destroying civilization as it is.

Holy shit, imagine something like that running at you.
I'd be scared shitless.

PROTIP: Just kick it. It'll fall over and be completely disabled.

They've thought about that and they are able to re-balance themselves before they hit the ground.
Also some can get right back up again.

Old. This is from last march, they've improved the speed since then:

>>battery
It's not electric, it's powered by hydraulics. Out in the field you'd power it with a gas engine.
Gas has a fairly high energy density, so it would not be unexpected to achieve a range of 20
miles with this thing.
>>1771602
Or just cut off it's hydraulic umbilical and it will literally bleed to death.

ill still not believe it would work out in the field with that gas engine you are talking about
until ive seen it. sounds like too much weight and size

copying one of those jewtube comments here that has a valid point
>treadmills are inaccurate to show the real speed. when running on one, you experience no
aerodynamic pressure(and when running 28 miles per hour, that shit really makes the difference).
also you are not really propelling yourself forward. running on the treadmill is much easier than
running....for real. so this experiment is worthless.

Maybe not for this robot specifically, but a robot developed by the same team (Big Dog) is shown
to be fully independent with a gas engine.

By the time they start fielding these things, you won't have time to kick them over or cut their
cords before they explode via remote.
