Assalamualaikum wr wb
Hi readers :)
Anyone had watched movies about robots like transformer and others ?
I
am surely knowing how about your feeling about those films, which
showing many awesome robots with their features, and is it still merely
in fiction movies ? Not, obviously not cause this present any robot like
Bumble bee or Optimus Prime still going in developing in any countries
like America, Russia, Japan, or South Korea.
And
today i will post about ones of organization or such similar a Company
in USA which has cooperation with U.S Military, and they have attempting
to make high tech robots could help people.
Boston Dynamics,
was an engineering and robotics company and until now in whole of the
world, Boston Dynamics still be number one as company has several high
tech robots and it was making them be the first as Robotics Company.

Actually, Boston Dynamics helping U.S Military in advancing Military Technology , and for reply it US Military with DARPA ( Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) Gives funding for Boston Dynamics to develops all their research and creates.
Boston Dynamics has created several robots :
1. Big Dog

BigDog is a rough-terrain robot that walks, runs, climbs and
carries
heavy loads. BigDog is powered by an engine that drives a hydraulic
actuation system. BigDog has four legs that are articulated like an
animal’s, with compliant elements to absorb shock and recycle
energy from one step to the next. BigDog is the size of a large dog
or
small mule; about 3 feet long, 2.5 feet tall and weighs 240 lbs.
BigDog's on-board computer controls locomotion, processes sensors and handles communications with the user. BigDog’s control system keeps it balanced, manages locomotion on a wide variety of terrains and does navigation. Sensors for locomotion include joint position, joint force, ground contact, ground load, a gyroscope, LIDAR and a stereo vision system. Other sensors focus on the internal state of BigDog, monitoring the hydraulic pressure, oil temperature, engine functions, battery charge and others.
BigDog runs at 4 mph, climbs slopes up to 35 degrees, walks across rubble, climbs muddy hiking trails, walks in snow and water, and carries 340 lb load.
Development of the original BigDog robot was funded by DARPA. Work to add a manipulator and do dynamic manipulation was funded by the Army Research Laboratory's RCTA program. (Source)

2. Cheetah
The Cheetah robot is the fastest legged robot in the World,
surpassing 29 mph, a new land speed record for legged robots. The
previous record was 13.1 mph, set in 1989 at MIT.
The Cheetah robot has an articulated back that flexes back and forth on each step, increasing its stride and running speed, much like the animal does. The current version of the Cheetah robot runs on a high-speed treadmill in the laboratory where it is powered by an off-board hydraulic pump and uses a boom-like device to keep it running in the center of the treadmill. The next generation Cheetah robot, WildCat, is designed to operate untethered. WildCat recently entered initial testing and is scheduled for outdoor field testing later in 2013.
Cheetah robot development is funded by DARPA's Maximum Mobility and Manipulation program. (Source)
Atlas is a high mobility, humanoid robot designed to negotiate outdoor,
rough terrain. Atlas can walk bipedally leaving the upper limbs free
to lift, carry, and manipulate the environment. In extremely
challenging terrain, Atlas is strong and coordinated enough to climb
using hands and feet, to pick its way through congested spaces.
Articulated, sensate hands will enable Atlas to use tools designed for human use. Atlas includes 28 hydraulically-actuated degrees of freedom, two hands, arms, legs, feet and a torso.
An articulated sensor head includes stereo cameras and a laser range finder. Atlas is powered from an off-board, electric power supply via a flexible tether.
Several copies of the Atlas robot are being provided as Government Furnished Equipment for the DARPA Robotics Challenge program with delivery scheduled in the summer of 2013. (Source)
And still many of robots in Boston Dynamics in processing to complete.
