One step loser Mmontana Dalton 2nd period

A recent new development of machines that can run, jump and climb. But the new breed of robots uses vast amounts of data as well as include high-tech motors, springs and sensors. A Wildcat robot can gallop at 16 miles per hour however the Cheetah can run even faster, at an astounding 28.3 miles per hour. The founder of these creations were by Marc Raibert, a professor at Boston Dynamics. He based these machines off of animals giving the sense of a lively quality. They are able to carry heavy packs, climb mountains and even run at high speed.


This is just one more step closer to the development of technology and i am still indifferent as to whether this is  benefiting our society or corrupting it of its natural inclinations. I personally feel as though humans now a days spend way to long on technology whether for academic or individual purposes.

  1. I totally agree with your response. I don't want to call myself old fashioned because I am all for innovations but to a degree.

  2. advancements in technology are a great thing that makes society what it is today, but have we really gotten to the point where we need to create robot wildlife? That sounds terrible and horrifying at the same time. Who thought of this?!
