We’re all in this technology game for pretty much two reasons.
- We are not satisfied with how things are or used to be. We tend to be consistently hungry for the next step in technology, whatever form this may take.
- We secretly wish we were in Star Wars/Star Trek (delete as appropriate).
Well not much tends to make me sit up and spit my coffee from my nose these days but the following video, and I suggest you watch it all the way through, brings both together rather successfully. There’s nothing educational about this but LOOK AT THE BIG ROBOT DOG!
Thanks to 37 Signals for the spot.

OK – Yes! That is pretty bloody amazing.
But – I cannot help but notice where the funding came from – and what the first application will be.
The idea that robots might be entering into mine fields or bombed-out / sniper filled areas – rather than humans – is great in lots of ways – and could be very positive.
But – there are clearly more dystopian perspective than those.
BUT – in terms of sheer geek joy in new kit – This is very cool!
