Finnish Forest Management Device or Our New Insectoid Robot Overlords? You Be The Judge.



Plustech Walking technology:

"The walking machine adapts automatically to the forest floor. Moving on six articulated legs, the harvester advances forward and backward, sideways and diagonally. It can also turn in place and step over obstacles. Depending on the irregularity of the terrain, the operator can adjust both the ground clearance of
the machine and heigh of each step."


Look at that damn thing, first thing I visualized was how that thing would look walking around servicing the human batteries that will power our Future Machine Masters.

Then I watched the videos of them in motion, and man, is it slow. Geez, I can crab-walk faster than that sucker.

As long as I can outrun it, all is cool.

I'm not worried. Yet.
