That's a lot quieter. Is this the first BD quadruped to run without a engine? Anyone care to guess how long the (I assume) batteries last?

- msane 12y agoThis was the first thing I noticed as well. I believe it still runs on diesel. It seems like they wanted to solve all the other issues before moving on to making things quieter and smaller. If you look at the latest ATLAS iteration it is also quieter.

- yellowapple 12y agoBD's first, possibly, but I know there are some folks at MIT who are/were working on an electric quadruped as well.
