Just make the parts out of explovies. You can compress it to a very hard explosive like plastic. Just like how they compress propellent for caseless ammo.
Cute, small, and very practical, i would like one. It also over comes the disability of most small 4 wheelers when they have to go up a curb. Icing on the cake is being able to scalema building with this one.
+Gino Foogle Counter-terrorism / SWAT units use similar devices with a camera attached. To scout a crisis scene before a breach. It's actually saving hostage/policeman lives
Now I know it would be impractical and extremely expensive, but just imagine how terrifying this thing would be if it were scaled up to the size of a car.
sn0wchyld unlikely that it'll be terrifying? Because if you're talking about just the creation of it then you clearly ignored the first part of that person's comment where they said they understood how it impractical it was.
***** unlikely that its _possible_, rather than much less practical. the whole reason its possible to make something jump that high is (in part) because it is small and light. if it was double the size, it would weigh roughly 8 times as much, all else being equal. scaled to a car size, is what, 8x the current size? that's 512 times the weight. granted, not everything is going to scale linearly with size. the camera on the front for instance wouldn't get any larger with a larger robot - but the point remains that the weight and thus forces involved in jumping like that increase at an exponential rate vs the actual size of the robot. Hence, 'there's a reason elephants look the way they do'.
train of thought: first impressions: "little rc car type thing, maybe all terrain. cool" robot dose little jump: "not bad. Impressive even" Robot jumps up onto the roof: "... I personally welcome our new robot overlords"
If anyone wants to know how this thing works, it has a little rubber piston in the back of the car. It then raises itself up onto the little nubs underneath it, and the piston is charged with CO2 and smacks it against the ground, propelling it up and forward. Shit's cool as shit, yo
That's neat. I was expecting some kind of complicated charge system involving battery use. Using CO2 sounds limited, but then a battery would be more so.
C Wo it would need a lot of work to get it ready for that kind of work. With the current state it’s in, there’s a lot of better options out there. Maybe if they where to developer it more with this in mind, then it could be used for certain natural disaster scenarios.
I don't know why but I just have a big smile on my face when I see it jump. I think it's actually the combination of anticipation (when it cranks itself) and then the "pop". So much funnier than rocket engines or propellers or anything really.
It'll probably be a very device for exploring off-planet territory. It could propel itself in and out of craters, over ridges, and possibly over soft ground. On this planet, could be good for search and rescue, searching for crash debris in difficult terrain, possibly exploring mines and cave systems.
Probably, like most scientists and engineers, BD folks got into robots because it was crazy awesome. It's not wonder their robots are not only functional but look cool/cute. Spot it's not a friggin dog with a typical dog name by chance, it's fully on purpose
@K Korona I understand the military potential quite well and it still makes me laugh so what you said makes no sense. Maybe try a more logical and sensible argument.
All solid state electronics with good old fashioned lead based solder, and no screen to crack. The plastic wheels help too, but I don't think they're necessary.
Also if it knows how high to jump it can calculate the trajectory to be practically motionless just before it lands. Most of the impact g-force would be on launch.
My guess is its packed with a dense foam or silicone rated to keep the internals from jarring upon impact. My question is what method is used for launch? No room for hydraulic pump to run pistons with that much throw. No noise of air compressor for pneumatics. Is it possible to engineer silonide bodies for that much throw? Must be a calculated spring release function. Clock spring? Coil? Interesting... How many uses before the spring steel weakens past the brain box's caulcualational capabilities?
+TheBenchmarkBrothers This explains why Valve won't release Half Life 3. The gvmt was legitimately terrified at the notion of headcrabs, so in their zeal to weaponize everything they decided to make a robotic headcrab.

I have to wonder if a skilled operator could use the balconies of a high rise hotel to get to the top floor.
I don't know for sure that it is fast or slow to jump, but I'm pretty sure that it uses the black piston to launch itself. You can see it at the beginning of the video when it is driving around.
Obviously the real magic here is not the jump thruster technology but the impact absorbing urathane poly wheels! What good is it if it can go to great distances but breaks on landing impact. Nice work BostonDynamics!
