BigDog Robot Gets Ability to Throw Things [Video]

If you are into robots and haven’t heard of the BigDog Robot already then you are going to love this one. The robot which as its name suggests is a big sized robot dog has gained new abilities and has become even more impressive then it on its announcement several years ago.

The BigDog Robot is backed by the Army Research Laboratory and created by Boston Dynamics. It is designed to act as an army robot and help in transferring hundred of pounds of equipment from one place to another. It has been under development since 2006 and has gained new features over the year. Now the team behind this great and apparently creepy robot has published a new video that shows the throwing ability of this robo dog. In the video we have embedded below the BigDog Robot can be seen picking up and throwing cinder blocks.

The BigDog Robot is impressive indeed and has grew a lot since its original form. No matter how impressive this man made dog become it still creeps us out when we think of the movies portraying the image of humans becoming slaves of robots who would take over our world in the future.
