Things I Will Believe When I See

Posted on 06:06 by hony
Computer animations of robotic animals are pretty easy to produce. I know this because my roommate and I used to do it for fun in college.

So earlier this year when BostonDynamics robot cheetah animation came out...I held my breath.

Now we have a robot ostrich animation complete with weird render that looks like a Halflife 2 creature! It'd be neat if it was built, sure. But I'll hold my breath in the mean time.
