Custom Gear Report

Earlier this year Soldier Systems posted about the quadruped robot appropriately name BIG DOG. Well it seems the engineers at Boston Dynamics have also been working on a biped named PETMAN. Here is a video of it walking on a treadmill. The “push” the tech gives the robot at :26 impressed the hell out of me. It won’t be long before you see proper droids on a battlefield near you. Not sure what this is going to do for the custom gear industry though. Boston Dynamics has some pretty cool stuff including a 6 legged bot they call RiSE that has the ability to climb vertical surfaces. Beware the rise of the machines.
