Stunning Video of PETMAN Humanoid Robot
From Automaton Blog - IEEE Spectrum
It can walk, squat, kneel, and even do push-ups. PETMAN is an adult-sized
humanoid robot developed by Boston Dynamics, the robotics firm best known
for the BigDog quadruped.
Today, the company is unveiling footage of the robot's latest capabilities.
It's stunning. The humanoid, which
will certainly be compared to the
Terminator Series 800 model, can perform various movements and maintain its
balance much like a real person.
