Introducing BigDog, the world’s most advanced robot! " It seems American ingenuity is alive and well. I was recently astounded to note just how far Robotics has come. Boston Dynamics, an offshoot of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology started developing Biomorphic (meaning, animal like movements) robotics in the early 90’s and their cutting-edge work inspired their launch in 1992.It is no ordinary engineering firm, specializing in robotic and human simulation primarily catering to the U.S. defense establishment and even serving the Sony Corporation. You may recall Sony’s humanoid robot QRIO, well it turns out Sony approached Boston Dynamics for its physics based human simulation systems.

| UP-Robots: the birth of useful personal robotics | | 2008-02-29 06:31:55 | | According to Forbes, robots are going to be the next tech bubble. There's nothing really new going around the net these days, just fights over taking control of the next big thing, which is probably going to be old after a couple of months. Facebook is already going down, with lesser new subscriptions every day.A bubble is something that, by definition, is supposed to burst, sooner or later. The trick is to ride it while it's still full (of air), and to put your money in it while it's still taking shape. Robots are going to happen, sooner or later. They are going to take over a lot more of tasks around our houses, our places of work, our cities, our fields, our factories, even in our nice little battlefields abroad...Of course this is already happening, what's new is that it's going to happen right before our noses. Technology is getting cheaper, and something is going to hit big time our supermarket shelves and start a new trend, simplifying something that we do everyday. It's not goi... | | By: :u:b:i:k:u:o: | | |
