love the last one" Run! Forest, Run!"

Go RHex! I had the joy of seeing the prototype for this in action a little over 5 years back, and it's certainly come a long way since!

This thing is awesome. The thing I like about Boston Dynamics, is that make their shit tough. Like when it was in the mud, underwater, smashing down rocks. Thats the kind of stuff potential clients want to see.

Beautiful!

Great robot! The design of the "legs" are awesome!!

The propulsion is simple in design, but yet so effective. Very inspirational for the rest of us roboticists/scientists.

Nothing can stop the little bugger!! Loved it!

That thing is AWESOME!!

Boston Dynamics always amazes me with such awesome robots! I love Big Dog and this one is very cool too! It works really well on different terrains.

Incredible! that thing is a beast!

It's insane! Especially that last one, it's like a super roach! It's indestructible, goes anywhere, and goes fasts. It should be on mars! A hexapod and six wheel drive!! Perfect...

This is really impressive, I like the fact they used the basic operation of the motor to be extremely direct with the operation of the legs but still have legs.

Amazing!

simply awesome. specially the last one under water

looks awsome!

out of my thinking!!awesome ..salute that idea n concept..simple but usefull

Gosh the last part of the video is awesome! Imagine this in a city raged by war and 200 of these things come running toward you with something you don't want to know... this is cruel i know, but you gotta admit it would be nice to see also. You can't deny that.

Realy Nice Work

wow who would have thought it would be able to move so well well done

It does have some interesting advantages over a conventional wheel or even a treaded design

this thing is awesome

Really cool after it goes thru the mud ,water, dirt, and rocks. It crawls right up the stairs and detonates it's 5 pound high explosive payload. Sounds like like a toy I would give out for the holidays.

hehe, the last part is great! You can't run away, it will catch you! :D

Wow! that thing is awesome.

absolutely the best robot i've ever seen.

very well done

I like the leg configuration, it looks so cute an clumsy, yet works so well ... 2:15

Very Amusing.

VERY AGRESSIVE

Very cute!

The force from the paddles is going in the oppostite direction of where they are pointing. So if they simply tilt the back paddles down, the force will be pushing its backside up and by that pitching the robot down. They can of course couple this with pitching the front paddles as well.

I find this robot rather charming and cute. Awesome!

i love it when it's running fast

LMFAO at 2:17, THE THING IR RUNNING LIKE IT'S SCARED FOR ITS LIFE! hahahah!

brilliant

I really like it, awesome design thanks for making it. Hopefully it becomes marketable enough that the owners become instant millionaires. They deserve it

lolat 2:09 uou could see that is solid ...and the end i was really impressed !! that speed is good ! :) keep the good job i like it !!

That is very cool. I am sure the army will be the first ones putting this to use.

this made my day!!! :D:D:D dang i gotta take some hard physics class soon. lol

so far boston dynamics has the best stabilizing robots with wide ranges in leg motion. the others may walk by themselves but they cant even come close to climbing. and when BD finishes their humanoid its going to be unbelievable

the end when its haulin ass is so funny!!! lmao

HEY !!! That is my design !!! I designed that traction in collage. Fools said I was an idiot. Glad some ppl think like I do. Fools always ridicule genius. BTW ... my improved design is MORE stable. Interested ask to see the schematics.

Тоже мне новость. Мы такие машинки делали 20 лет назад. На станции юных техников. ))

I was shitting my pants thinking about having to run away from that thing at the end xD

the way it came down that hill at 2:08 was defenatly the most efficient :-)

that's so cool

this is so funny:D the best moving of a robot

2:19 Damn Scary O_o Imagine it's running after you.

Wow a wheel leg, simple yet effective!

i was laughing my ass off for the last 10 seconds or so

WOW!!! great great robot!!!

This is pure genius! Although I would give it wider uh.. flappers, for better grip. It also doesn't seem to have a way to right itself if flipped over, unless it just runs upside down. I want one sooo bad.

by the time the bot's into the mud, when it pauses for that moment.. it almost looks like it's saying to itself "i get no respect... here i am.. in the MUD!" :D

A wonderful tracking system

woaw its cool dude

HAHAHA thats funny and awesome XD

That's fucking amazing.

wow that thing can scoot. Awesome idea inovation for legs/wheels

Awesome engineering. The leg coordination must have taken alot of though. It seems like it would use alot of amperage though, just by the nature of movement

i loled so hard wen it started runny at the end

Well done. 4Star Video.

2:17 i'm free!!!i'm free!!!

2:16-2:29 is something out of a nightmare I had the other night.

far superior to the traditional wheels! the last footages are so funny to watch!

That is cool i want a RC version (like a RC car) lol would be well fun.

The future of warfare; 500 of these making up a mobile mine field. The future of space exploration; 500 of these exploring the surface of Mars in a fraction of time the Rovers do it.

i thought it was pretty funny & adorable how he paused for a second, then lifted up 2 of his legs and kept going at 0:59 to 1:02

im telling you about the kids that doesnt quit... you get some thing amazing

I would put little boots on him, a swastika and little moustache. You gotta admit that the swimming and stairs rock!

@dividenot I like your way of thinking, only problem with space exploration is the need for power, derived via solar cells, which are very fragile and must be on the exterior, no ruff and tumble play with those, but I'm sure these guys can find a solution to that!

dude thats cool. itl be even faster if they tread the whole body then if the body was scraping anything it would push it even more. would help for water too (good auxillery thrust)

you are hilarious (no sarcasm!!) great."!# i laughed that much. i immagined like it would be a turtle !! hahaha

neato!

that's a great idea.

This thing should have been on mars, it could have walked miles , nothing can stop it! Amazing robot!

Orale, muy imprecionandte ese robot, es autonomo o funciona a control remoto ??

i hear your reality check bounced

Haha the thing is really cool ... look like its running. The thing is awesome

Haha! I lold at 2:17, impressive

hahahaa lol holy shit that last run was hilarious....looks like i dont know its just funny.... and the swim was funny too....... Damn that thing is awesome.......

Не хотите прокатиться на таком? Wonna take a ride on it? ))))

Such a simple yet amazingly effective solution only six servos yet it's going over terrain you'd never see those Japanese androids tackle. That seems to be the difference between western and eastern robots western bots seem to be simpler not usually humanoid but more practical and effective.

nice concept for a mars rover, and dualing as a swimmer could mean doubling up on marketshare with one device.

if you translate this to say a tanklike vehicle it would proberly be allot less effective. but if you use this as a combat robot it has a lot of potential

looks timing is important for balance since each wheel is cut into half. middle wheels work like the other half of the rest of wheels.

lol at 2:16! ^^ "Try to get me! idiots!" ^^

check out also BigDog, LittleDog, RISE and HRex of boston dynamics robotics is awesome

hahaha yeah the end where the thing just takes off full speed is funny

@Abocreature ya but if we went in a stream with vertical sides we could get out but he couldnt

That's it, I am making one of those.

HAHAHAHAHAAH That thing is hilarious !!!!!!!

we find it cute cause it seems so damn determined lol

Very nice, it looks like a big bug, and goes very fast

Fast as hell

i would like one of every boston dynamics robots as pets, and then, i would take over the world with them

agree

ROFL, now they need to give him artificial intelligence and he'll be everyones favorite robot.

2:25 "Shoot that fuck'n thing!!"

god damned boston dynamics is sure pushing out many types of bots... amazing stuff. when can i have one? :D

go lil bugger! run! lol
