I wonder if one of those things could fit under a Leopard 2 tank, looks like maybe they could that whole Russian idea of anti-tank bomb dogs isnt fundamentally unsound its just that most traditional analogue dogs are frightened of cannons and machineguns going off for some reason
I'm sure they could, but I'd have to imagine it would be a lot more cost and time effective to build remote control cars that carry mines rather than building robot dogs to do the job.
Just saying, radio control wasn't really an option at the time when anti-tank dogs came out of the horrifying-idea hat.
See them flip themselves over when landing on their backs is impressive and scary.
You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a robot dog, crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the robot dog over on its back. It flips itself upright.

I dunno isnt the whole point of having legs like them things do is to navigate complex urban terrain also its not like blowing up a modern tank is a cost trivial proposistion Javelins aint cheap at all
I dunno hey @tynic if you had to kill a tank in a ruined city with an exploding robot would you want the robot to have wheels or treads or dog legs

Optimal solution is legs WITH treads
probably not dog legs though
something more insect like. I've actually given this a lot of thought, would you like to see my drawings

Insectoid tank killer? Yes please I wanna see that sci fi future shit.
Ok so for difficult terrain over any kind of distance your big limitation is gonna be on-board power requirements
so you wanna do as much with passive power generation as possible. Jumping robots are pretty great at that
but a single leg isn't ideal because if you do fall you need a responsive actuated recovery system that can lever you up. What if we go to a multi-legged platform?
this is way better (and the reversable design is nifty) but there are still feasible fall states where the robot can't recover, and it's extremely difficult to create a joint space configuration where the force application is uniform all around the body. Symmetry helps:
yeah anyway there's some really weird leg design in insects which means you can get out way more power than seems feasibly possible so if I was gonna do an all-terrain legged robot I'd go down that route but I actually don't have many drawings, I lied
(I do have some)
(they're in a notebook that also contains a full page of slogans for an ostrich burger franchise and a sticky note that just says "Brendan Fraser with beard???!???")

However, one of the major points raised in the video I linked is that you cannot ease traffic congestion by building more roads. When you build more roads, more cars use them, which simply increases the number of cars on all roads at any one time, and instead of reducing congestion on the initial problem road, whoops all of a sudden now you just have more roads that are badly congested.
Mass transit is the only real solution to congestion, and to really fix the road congestion issues places like Los Angeles suffer will require societal overhaul.

and 2: Toxic is already an extremely good pop song. Just putting the lyrics over a sludge-rock instrumental does not make it "better", only a different genre.

Bad road design fucking sucks and is dangerous.
