For those of you who fear the robot apocalypse, here is a stunner. The updated Boston Dynamics robot developed for DARPA and nicknamed just aqcuired the capability to run on the treadmill, climb stairs and do puch ups, in other words has become more humanoid. The machine is developing by the day it seems!
For those of you who just came to realise that the humanoid robots are in such an advanced stages of development, Petman is an anthropomorphic robot which was primarily developed for testing chemical protection clothing. Unlike the previous testers this one will have the capability to walk freely, balance and do other types of suit stressing calisthenics. It will also stimulate the human body temprature variations, and also sweat when necessary.
A modified version of this robotic platform will also be used in the upcoming DARPA robotics challenge which will require teams to write a software for the high tech man. So if you can write a software for this robot DARPA might just let you try it out.
