Is it just me or is this really, really creepy?

I'm a fan of robots as much as the next guy, and love my Woot Roomba vacuum to death, but...yikes. There's something that creeps me out about those legs...

:Q

It's freaky because it looks so much like a mammal of some sort.

I thought there where people hiding in there at first.

The part where they kicked it is pretty cool though.

It's like something out of Half-Life 2...or the new Willy Wonka...

 

[Caecus Veritas]

....yeah... definitely weird and freaky...... but still cool.

 

[mayonnaise]

I want one.

 

[johnjbruin]

That is freaky.
I'd be scared like shit if that thing crept up behind me.

 

[StevenYoo]

yo, that looks like some creepy ass monster in a Silent Hill game

Doesn't bother me one bit. Then again, as a paleontologist I have seen some bizarre creatures (e.g. Hallucigenia) and I'm not affected by the Uncanny Valley phenomenon either.

It is very creepy.

 

[Oceandevi]

I like it but its very loud.

This is old.

 

[Throckmorton]

Why didn't they put a head on it so it doesn't look like two guys ?

I remember when you hallucinated and the aliens were gonna abduct you.

Didn't know you were a paleontologist. Do you work for a museum?

I think he's gotten it mixed up. There are dinosaurs, then there are those who study them.

 

[RossMAN]

Can I jump on it and take it for a ride?

 

[jonessoda]

Metal gear?!

 

[kevman]

It has begun...the Cylons are coming and will destroy humanity!

Most people don't appreciate how difficult locomotion is. We take it for granted, but to program a robot to do the same demonstrates it's difficulty. It's amazing how the robot handled being kicked (very lifelike) and doing minute adjustments walking on snow and bricks.
