| BigDog REMIX! |
 |
This is a remix of the BigDog robot video by
Boston Dynamics. I felt that Herbie
Hancock's masterpiece, Rockit, would be most
fitting. Indeed, it was. To learn more

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.
BigDog has an on-board computer that controls
locomotion, servos the legs and handles a
wide variety of sensors. BigDog's control
system manages the dynamics of its behavior
to keep it balanced, steer, navigate, and
regulate energetics as conditions vary.
Sensors for locomotion include joint
position, joint force, ground contact, ground
load, a laser gyroscope, and a stereo vision
system. Other sensors focus on the internal
state of BigDog, monitoring the hydraulic
pressure, oil temperature, engine
temperature, rpm, battery charge and others.
In separate trials, BigDog runs at 4 mph,
climbs slopes up to 35 degrees, walks across
rubble, and carries a 340 lb load.
BigDog is being developed by Boston Dynamics
with the goal of creating robots that have
rough-terrain mobility that can take them
anywhere on Earth that people and animals can
go. The program is funded by the Defense
Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA).

Apple AirPort Express [1] was updated to
802.11n so it's faster and
has a longer range. Boston Dynamics [2] has a
video of the BigDog
robot and it's the most lifelike robot
movement we've seen. The full
video is here. [3]
Shuttle is famous for making small form
factor barebones PCs. They
have a new one, the KPC with Linux [4] and
components already
installed. The Swiftpoint Slider [5] is a
mouse in a new form factor.
It's tiny and controlled by a thumb.
Bluelock [6] is a Windows app that locks your
PC when you walk away
with a paired Bluetooth device in your
pocket. Desktopple Pro from
FoggyNoggin.com [7] is a desktop hiding app.
Duke Beattie [8] won the Big Trip logo
contest. The story of why we
picked his design is at BigTrip.TV [9].
