Awesome Robotic Mechsuit from S Korea

  • Thread starter jedishrfu
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation discussed an impressive robotic mech-suit from South Korea that is fully operational and ready for action. However, there were concerns raised about the lack of onboard power and computer, as well as a shaky and tethered walking gait. It was also mentioned that the CEO is interested in using the suit for fighter-bot competition, which may lead to faster evolution in design among other companies. This idea is akin to the concept of using entertainment to fund and advance technology development, as seen in Jurassic Park.

Yeah, I noticed many of the things the Captain talked about:
- no onboard power (which could alter the weight distribution)
- no onboard computer (not sure this is really an issue)
- shaky and tethered walking gait (Boston Dynamics did that in their early robotic development)

One thing noted in the interview was that the CEO was interested in fighter-bot competition and there is a move afoot with other companies to showcase their engineering work that way. It might also lead to faster evolution of the design of these bots too. Its the Jurassic Park idea of how to pay for the tech development by making it entertaining and some day it becomes useful and real.
