“Meet the Robots Ready to Revolutionize Our World – Are We Prepared for Their Rise?”
The BigDog was also the first legged robot to ever leave a lab and actually take on the real world. It can run at 10 km/h, climbs slopes up to 35 degrees and walks in snow and water.
Cheetah 3
This robotic feline can leap nearly three feet in the air, climb stairs, and gallop over rough terrain. You can also add some cool cheetah print to the Cheetah 3 which makes it kind of like a real pet. Not really, but kind of.
This is one of the first robots to be able to autonomously walk upstairs and avoid debris while doing it. For all the dog lovers out there, it’s about the size of a full-grown Labrador which kind of makes it cute?
REEM
There have been three prototypes of REEM. The first and second types were built in 2006 and were humanoids that could walk around by themselves, recognize, grasp, lift objects and avoid obstacles through localization and mapping.
The third installment was created in 2010 and was put on wheels that allowed it to move faster. Its entire upper torso is a touch screen that allows you to interact with it. It also has two motorized arms which give it a high degree of expression.
GhostSwimmer
If you’re afraid of sharks, you might want to look away from this robot. It’s called the GhostSwimmer and it’s designed to look like a shark, but it’s actually a robot that can scout up to 300 feet below the water for the US Navy.
