You won’t believe how alive they look. These robots are created based on the movements of actual animals. See how they run.
I love robots! Can’t wait for Day 2! I want to see the climbing robots. And the swinging from limb to limb climbing monkey! And the burrowing mole robot. And the scampering rabbit robot!
Maybe it would be easier to tap into the brains of the animals themselves, and take over their motor cortex. Then we could strap a bomb onto them and send them scampering into enemy territory – or whatever DARPA is planning on doing with them.
