Petman Tests Camo

submitted by YearofthePuma

1 decade 1 year 2 months 1 week ago

The PETMAN robot was developed by Boston Dynamics with funding from the DoD CBD program. It is used to test the performance of protective clothing designed for hazardous environments. The video shows initial testing in a chemical protection suit and gas mask. PETMAN has sensors embedded in its skin that detect any chemicals leaking through the suit. The skin also maintains a micro-climate inside the clothing by sweating and regulating temperature. Partners in developing PETMAN were MRIGlobal, Measurement Technology Northwest, Smith Carter, CUH2A, and HHI. (youtube)

What a crap title to a great video. Change it to something cool relating to terminator like "Skynet is one step closer to wold domination" or "Boston Dynamics tests PETMAN, Sarah Connor wanted for questioning.
*promote ?

Invocations (promote) cannot be called by braschlosan because braschlosan is not privileged - sorry.

Actually, it looks more to me like the doll from those back pain commercials has quit its acting career and taken up a military R&D job.

I was going to suggest the opposite, that perhaps it has potential for an acting career

So glad they developed this....giving a hobo a sandwhich and telling him to walk around in the camo would have been wayyyyy too expensive.

Holy fuck... that has officially creeped me out. Not all of it's motions were natural.. but some were scarily human. And the outfit doesn't help

EDIT: I think what's creeping me out is actually the uncanny valleyness, not in the look but the motion on a fully bipedal robot

Impressive shoulder articulation.
