The
Petman robot by
Boston Dynamics is a mobile robot prototype on two legs which moves like a human being.
Petman can walk at a speed of
6 km/h.
Look closely at how its feet and legs move in slow motion; he walks like a man.
Now imagine once this biped robot has been developed without cords, with a head and two arms on the street: the realism could be amazing.
A good idea to apply to humanoid police officers?
Here's a new video that's only just come out:
