Definitions for "BIGDOG"
A quadrupedal, or four-legged, robot ("packbot") developed to run and scramble, as opposed to carefully placing steps in a structured gait. The robot resembles a headless, tailless dog, except that the front "knees" bend in the direction opposite from the "back" knees. BigDog is intended to carry up to 100 pounds of equipment and supplies and to be able to follow soldiers in terrain where vehicles cannot operate. [ 10:3076
