Real Life Star Wars AT-ST Walker?(blog.machinefinder.com) |
It's a 6 legged John Deere (apparently by parent-company purchase) prototype machine, primarily developed for logging in difficult terrain. Looks remarkably steady and well designed, and it's discontinued.
And AT-STs are the two legged ones, AT-ATs are the 4 legged.
This prototype reminds me more of big dog: - http://www.bostondynamics.com/robot_bigdog.html
A quick google search didn't turn up anything at deere.com. But, the device was made by Plustech, now Timberjack. Anybody find anything more specific?
