I am a engineer but my carrier is in seamanship, and going on voyages as a deck officer.
I studied and wrote some papers about a robotic arm for my master degree.
So I can say that although I am not a scientist I have a passion in robotics and genetics as well because I belive we can improve our human body.
In my blog I did not yet start to write about robots and designs because..well.. I was afraid that that content will be boring for some BUT you made me more confident now and I will post too some ideeas and designs as well for building a robot .
And yes BigDog is awesome and I would love to see it in your post.
It is awesome that here on Steemit I can see such type of good content!
