Dancing Robot
by: Stuart

The robot, Big Dog, isn’t really dancing, the title is a little misleading.

The way the legs on this robot move does look like two people bodyless people doing the quick step, even when it’s kicked.



Here is a little more on the Big Dog from Boston Dynamics:

The Most Advanced Quadruped Robot on Earth

BigDog is the alpha male of the Boston Dynamics family of robots. It is a quadruped robot that walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. BigDog is powered by a gasoline engine that drives a hydraulic actuation system. BigDog’s legs are articulated like an animal’s, and have compliant elements that absorb shock and recycle energy from one step to the next. BigDog is the size of a large dog or small mule, measuring 1 meter long, 0.7 meters tall and 75 kg weight.
