Re: BIG Dog
I, too, had thoughts of the Terminator movies as I was watching this. Frightening, yet very awesome.

Re: BIG Dog
I can see several uses for that thing. Mounted with remote imaging, it can be sent into dangerous areas for search and rescue. Resupply of troops in remote areas, etc
Put a saddle on it and we have a resurgence of the Cavalry! Charge!

Re: BIG Dog
Add both those videos to a recent Navy study and warning:
and you have "Terminator" looming just over the horizon.
*edit*
DARPA scares me. They have come up with many great things that people use every day now and don't think twice about. It's all the stuff that we only see glimpses of or don't even know about that scares me. Scientists have been cloning sheep and dogs and cows for years. DARPA has been cloning humans for decades...

Experts Warn of 'Terminator'-Style Military-Robot Rebellion
Friday , February 20, 2009
Autonomous military robots that will fight future wars must be programmed to live by a strict warrior code, or the world risks untold atrocities at their steely hands.
The stark warning — which includes discussion of a "Terminator"-style scenario in which robots turn on their human masters — is part of a hefty report funded by and prepared for the U.S. Navy's high-tech and secretive Office of Naval Research.
The report, the first serious work of its kind on military robot ethics, envisages a fast-approaching era where robots are smart enough to make battlefield decisions that are at present the preserve of humans.
Eventually, it notes, robots could come to display significant cognitive advantages over Homo sapiens soldiers.
"There is a common misconception that robots will do only what we have programmed them to do," Patrick Lin, the chief compiler of the report, said. "Unfortunately, such a belief is sorely outdated, harking back to a time when ... programs could be written and understood by a single person."
The reality, Dr. Lin said, was that modern programs included millions of lines of code and were written by teams of programmers, none of whom knew the entire program.
Accordingly, no individual could accurately predict how the various portions of large programs would interact without extensive testing in the field — an option that may either be unavailable or deliberately sidestepped by the designers of fighting robots.

Re: BIG Dog
Look if you ever think you have seen articles that have the 'inside scoop' on what different Intel sectors are doing...i.e. robots alla terminator style..You're looking at a bunch of BS some person has wrote up to seem very much like a military report. Anything that top secret would never be spilled to civilians. The specifics of those robots wouldn't be spilled to the press. Sorry, too much is at stake to trust anyone without a clearance to sensitive information like that.

I concur, Andy. Somebody heard something from somebody's second cousin, twice removed, brother-in-law's sister's acquaintance who knew somebody that knew somebody who cut the lawn at the facility and has all the inside story. From there, you get somebody with a way with words and that knows fear sells almost as well as sex and you have the Terminator story.
Can it happen? Eventually, yes. Will it happen anytime soon? Highly unlikely in our lifetime. Why? Because the powers that be are afraid to give a machine more independant thought than they allow the average jarhead grunt in the mud. (Which is damn little other than fall on that grenade or take out that machine gun nest with a broken pocket knife.) Why is that? Because if they do it won't be long before somebody realizes that they don't need all that brass at the top. Those in power do not yield same without a struggle.
Back to the original concept of a personally controlled exoskeleton. Not such a new concept, just that the technology is now getting to the point where it is becoming remotely possible. It also has possiblities for those who have suffered severe spinal damage. (60 Minutes had a show several years ago about a crude setup for a young woman who had had a severe spinal injury and was unable to walk. With the aid of this contraption, she was able to take a few halting steps.)
The concept of a powered exoskeleton and powered suits/armor has been common grist for the SF world for awhile. A wonderful example is in Robert A. Heinlein's "Starship Troopers", the book not that pathetic excuse for a movie. He goes into detail of the use of negative feedback.
Jack Haldeman presents something, similar several years, later in "The Forever War" series of novellas.
