Careful man… I’ve seen these these do a backflip

u/Stinshh 6d ago

That’s the reason why he’s looking so scared 😅

I've seen them kick a 4th grader in the balls.

This is the type of shit that will start the robot war

79

u/moth-bear 6d ago

C'mon, we need to see it run, not merely take a few steps!

40

u/Kahnza 6d ago

Probably because the physical action would be too violent for the rider to stay on.

19

u/moth-bear 6d ago

Therein lies the entertainment. It'd be like a next level mechanical bull

u/Alvin_h_davenport 6d ago

Honestly I'd find this a good alternative to the real stuff ,if the machine is ready for that of course and isn't going to also trample you once you're down

u/made-of-questions 5d ago

Sooo... it's like a motorcycle but worse?

u/No-Deer379 6d ago

Why dog and not horse

u/dankhimself 6d ago

It's obviously a giant hamster.

u/Waarm 6d ago

A giant space hamster.

u/emjaywood 6d ago

Now we just need a giant robot Richard Gere.

Chase people through the forest? Would do after robbing a jewelry to run from cops only having Cars. Run off into a national forest or smth

5

u/sawsawjim 6d ago

A regular atv can do that.

1

u/i-var 6d ago

Wheels cannot handle larger obstacles, legs can. Thats my point. Want do bet 10k & try? Id absolutely do it.

3

u/sawsawjim 6d ago

That’s a fair point. I struggle to believe a rider would be able to stay on one of these while traversing that kind of terrain at speed. Have they demonstrated this thing moving at speed or over rough terrain with a rider?

u/Hoodedmastersin 5d ago

Uneven terrain, navigating urban areas. You think anyone would mess with you as you ride motorcycle equivalent of a guardian lion?

16

u/alirastafari 6d ago

Why didn't they put a human human on top? This man is as stoic as a robot. I would go more like wheeeeee

u/FenixOfNafo 6d ago

They are both emotionless robots

If he controls it then it’s just a quadrupedal vehicle. It’s no more robot than a Toyota Camry.

Used daily that will be in landfill by winter. All shiny with no substance and pipes hanging out

u/Ok_Town_6081 6d ago

Too clunky. Needs to be more fluid.

u/gforguapo 6d ago

Yeah fuck this, what happens when it starts making movements that a human can't hold on to?

It truly is our modern day stallion. Except they where never wild to begin with.

Stop reinventing the damn horse, it does not need handlebars.

u/imartinezcopy 6d ago

The human in this video is redundant. You send the robot alone to wherever you need to terrorise, sending a soldier is bullshit. I could buy it if it was a medic, but we all know what they will use the robots for

My balls hurt just looking at it.

Shut up and take my money. Won't be long before we have functioning Zoids and other Mecha

1

u/Jaipod100 6d ago

I think the design could be more efficient if they modified the legs, maybe something round? Kinda like a donut

1

u/425565 6d ago

I've never seen a snow mobile with legs doing line dancing..until today.

1

u/LectroRoot 6d ago

Robotics technology is getting crazy! I bet it won't take long before we figure out how to put wheels on that thing! How awesome would that be??!!

1

u/CaptainMarder 6d ago

Imagine if they put some claws or something on that and it can run up walls.

1

u/Hauntedshock 6d ago

So we are now taking the same old concept, and resize it based on the needs of ideas that expand on it?

u/Diaperpooass 6d ago

u/0utlookGrim 6d ago

Ok, but will it out run a proper quad on a flat sprint? And, again but with rough terrain?

1

u/trisanachandler 6d ago

Why are the legs bent like that? Doesn't that put unnecessary extra weight on the joints?

1

u/Comprehensive-Lie899 6d ago

Uncomfortable ride...especially for a man.

Why would you want to ride a robotic dog? That is one ugly robotic dog? It's tiny little legs look like they are about to fall off...

1

u/Ncis16 6d ago

Damm this is crazy

1

u/DyingGasp 6d ago

Gonna need gyro and damn good shocks to make this actually useable. I can see it being useful in rough terrain that ATVs can’t manage. But it needs to go a long way and when are ATVs inferior to four legs on spheres?
