Boston Dynamics mechanical ostrich seems ready to go

submitted by SFOGuy

5 years 3 weeks ago

Huh; Boston Dynamics, of the famous walking robot dog, seems to have a two-wheeled ostrich robot that can handle boxes just about ready to go. Can someone tell me why two wheels instead of a larger carriage with 4 or 6 wheels?

Two wheels are more mobile than 4 or 6. Tighter turning, zero point. Takes up less space.

These pallets are often covered with layers of moving-wrap (thick saran wrap) - are these ostriches fitted with a knife blade?

I wonder how much weight is inside these demo boxes? If they are empty, it's not that realistic of a demo, but if they have some weight inside, then it's very impressive!
