 : Four-legged robot developed by GEC for US Army


Four-legged robot developed by GEC for US Army

Apr. 05 Man-Made monster for Military study: One of the most incredible military research studies of the decade must certainly be the development of this four-legged mechanical monster. Built by the General Electric Company of New York, for the US Army, the machine is officially said to be designed to improve mobility and materials-handling capabilities of the foot soldier working under severe conditions. The machine mimics the movements of its operator. The right front leg is controlled by the operator's right arm; its right rear leg by the operator's right leg. And the same formula for the machine's front and rear left limbs. The monster measures 11 feet high and weighs 5, 000 lbs. The Army tank-Automotive Command provided technical supervision of the weird research creature. The robot cost, 000, 0 to develop. Photo shows The weird four-legged robot built for military study
