omg.. if I had seen that as I kid I'd have totally had nightmares for years and be in serious need of therapy.

Whoa

fatheed on Jul 24 '08 at 3:55am

Hahaha! Best fancy-dress costume EVER!

fatheed on Jul 24 '08 at 3:57am

I thought that robotics has just jumped up about 10 notches, but the fact that there's a dude inside that thing is still really impressive.

stubby43 on Jul 24 '08 at 4:03am

Thats a costume? I just assumed it was cgi.

fatheed on Jul 24 '08 at 4:12am

CGI isn't that good yet.

i'm pretty sure that thing is animatronic. i remember seeing it once before. there's not really a guy in it is there?

fatheed on Jul 24 '08 at 4:50am

Part of the mechanism would most likely be classed as animatronic, but you can see the dude's legs.

The other immediate tell-tale sign is that it lifts it's leg off the floor to move. This is a hugely difficult to achieve in robotics/animatronics and has only recently been successfully (but still awkwardly) achieved in those Japanese humanoid robot spacemen things.

It's all to do with balance and how reidiculously complex it is to calculat weight distribution. Something we do without even thinking. But - with the gyroscope technology developed by Dean Kamen (creator of the Segway) I don't think that awesome bi-pod robots are that far away.

typos galore.

fatheed on Jul 24 '08 at 5:00am

Turns out they can do it, but it looks completely unnatural and the surface area of the feet is huge to make balancing easier.

Still - AT-ATs are not too far away now.

oh man, this has made me so happy. being the guy inside there is probably one of the best and sweatiest jobs ever. I didn't even notice his legs at first, I was so thrilled!

and lolz, the robot talk just reminded me of the (wheeled, no legs) disco robot on TWIS's "World Robot Domination" segment last week. "Chase me, robot, chase me!"

seriously though that dinosaur is tits. I would be watching this all day today if the IT guys hadn't started monitoring our bandwidth usage.

I wore one of those to a wedding one time.

Melikochan on Jul 24 '08 at 7:53am

Did the girl in the stroller say KITTY at some point?

13strong on Jul 24 '08 at 8:06am

That looks pretty cool. What's going on? Is this an exhibition or something? It looks like it's in a museum.

Also, the dinosaur looks kinda furry...

fatheed on Jul 24 '08 at 8:12am

Natural History Museum. In... NYC. That's my guess.

igotadonothindegree on Jul 24 '08 at 8:17am

I've seen these before, They use them in a show called "Dinosaurs Live"

http://www.dinosaurlive.com/

Very cool

igotadonothindegree on Jul 24 '08 at 8:22am

Sorry I lied the show is actually called "Walking with Dinosaurs, The Live Experience"

radiostaticstar on Jul 24 '08 at 8:39am
