interesting + amazing + creepy + fascinating + ‘it’s coming to get me’ new footage of boston dynamic’s big dog pack mule robot traversing through the woods and snow. while it looks like two actors in leotards performing an elaborate mummenschanz show, it’s not. it’s a robot, built to walk & deliver supplies, and it can’t fall down. in fact, i can hear it approaching right now … yikes … gotta go!

no, wait - the robots are here. soon to be everywhere. no, wait - they are everywhere. from the monkey using brain signals to control a robotic arm to crazy robot exoskeletons (some big and some bigger). robots are on the rise. it’s crazy all the robot news and videos circulating these days. like the ’soft and cuddly’ RI-MAN robot cradling a human in it’s arms? or that freakish robot pack mule a.k.a. big dog? whenever i see these video clips, i have this hunch i’m seeing future military equipment in early developement. scary. like when i see this cute ‘the power of dreams’ ad for Honda’s Asimo robot running & playing with kids, i picture Asimo with m16s strapped to his arms and the kids are screaming and hiding for their lives instead of laughing and playing. but hey - that’s just me. and why does asimo move like a human that has to go to the bathroom really really bad? odd. for video clips, there’s a robot fish, that robot pack mule, dancing robots, robot ballet, robots that transform into little cars, robots that play the flute, robots that conduct a symphony, ‘life like’ human robots (some that look like nagel prints), and humans that move amazingly like robots. robots robots robots. in fact, i can hear one climbing up the side of my house right now. yikes. gotta go!
