Robert Manner has built an amazing robot that looks and walks like a real Allosaurus - "The robot will be able to move almost exactly like the real dinosaur with its 13 servomotors, several balance systems, and dozens of sensors. The robot does not only recognise the position of its frame and joints, motions, fuse functions, and exterior lighting but also the inside and outside temperatures. Due to its mechanic-electronic spirit level with 8 positions the computer can sense even the slightest tilt angle in any direction. Hence, it is impossible for the robot to fall down under any circumstances." Thanks Antti! Link.

There is only one slight problem with this website for people not from Finland.
That is, the page is entirely in Soumi and there is no online tranlsation service like Babelfish to translate it into English online for free.
The pictures look interesting, though :-)
