Is the Future of the ATV a Robot?
Posted on Mar 18, 2008 - 10:44 AM
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a million. Check out this short 3 minute video from robotics manufacturer, Boston Dynamics. It is especially interesting to see how the robot instantly reacts when it is pushed or when it hits a patch of ice.
As I like to say, if you want to want to “ jump the curve” don’t just think about where robotic technology is today ... just imagine where it’ll be after ten more years of near exponential advances in materials, sensors, and computers. At a minium, I believe the future of All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) will no longer be limited to having four-wheels—I think they’ll be more robotic in nature.
