This is a video demonstration and discussion about Cassie, a new bipedal robot inspired by ostriches. The robot was designed and built by students and faculty at Oregon State University’s College of Engineering, with the help of Agility Robotics. In case you couldn’t tell, it’s super creepy to just see a pair of robotic legs walking around. Could you not have given it the rest of a body? “Some boobs at least.” Exactl– wait, what? Who are you and what are you doing here? “I just–” This is a private party you need to leave. “But–” No buts, Mr. Metaltits Lover, you need to go.

Keep going for the video while I set off some fireworks in the office to get this 4th of July party started.
