DARPA’s Next Generation Terminator-like Robot Unveiled – Terminator-Like Killer Robots
DARPA, the technological arm of the Pentagon, unveiled its latest humanoid robot this week, demonstrating how the 7ft 4″ tall beast can dodge obstacles and act intelligently to stay upright, even when knocked off balance by heavy weights.
The robot, named ATLAS, presumably after the primordial Titan of astronomy and navigation who held up the celestial sphere, was designed by long time DARPA subsidiary Boston Dynamics.
“Articulated, sensate hands will enable Atlas to use tools designed for human use,” Boston Dynamics says. “Atlas includes 28 hydraulically actuated degrees of freedom, two hands, arms, legs, feet, and a torso.”
The robot’s head encompasses two hi-tech cameras and a laser range finder. At the moment, ATLAS is tethered to an off-board, electric power supply.
Watch videos released by the company, as part of DARPA’s Virtual Robotics Challenge, shows the robot in action: http://www.infowars.com/darpas-next-generation-terminator-like-robot-unveiled/
Six teams of engineers that made it through to the end stages of DARPA’s “competition”, will now all be given ATLAS as it was deemed to be the best robot for potentially “helping” the military.
Beware bloodbags: 7ft 4″ tall, 330 pound metal beast will eventually act autonomously
