DARPA and Boston Dynamics have broken their own legged-robot land speed record: Cheetah, which set a record of 18mph earlier in the year, has now been clocked at 28.3mph (12.6m/s) -- faster than Usain ...

DARPA’s “Cheetah” robot set a new land speed record for legged robots, galloping at 18 miles per hour, topping the previous record of 13.1 miles per hour set in 1989. The robot’s movements are ...

This video from DARPA demonstrates their cheetah-inspired robot running on a treadmill, reaching a top speed and new world record of 18 mph. The robot, as of now, can't run without the support of a ...

What is it about a cheetah's build that enables it to run so fast? What gives the wolf its exceptional endurance? While these questions can be partly answered through animal experiments, many ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — It’s a robot unlike any other: inspired by the world’s fastest land animal, controlled by video game technology and packing nifty sensors — including one used to maneuver ...

Engineers at MIT have created a plethora of robots in recent years from machines that see with their feet to a cheetah automaton that can run through the grass. Now ...
