MIT’s long-jumping, back-flipping mini cheetah is at it again — and this time, it’s taught itself how to run. The engineers behind the robot released a video showcasing its new skills on Thursday. In ...

To make their Mini Cheetah better equipped to skillfully scramble across varying terrains, robotics researchers at MIT’s CSAIL used AI-powered simulations to quickly teach the bot to adapt its walking ...

There are a few humans alive who can outrun the new DARPA-funded Cheetah robot; if your name isn’t Usain Bolt, however, chances are you’re not one of them. This robot can reach speeds of up to 18 mph, ...

Scientists at MIT managed to teach a robot to run using machine learning. Normally robots are taught how to move across difficult terrain by preprogramming it into their code. This time, though, the ...

MIT's Cheetah robot has finally been let off the leash -- and boy can it run. Watch as it bounds across a grass field, and even jumps over a hurdle. It isn't quite up to the evolutionary magnificence ...

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 ...

There's a new version of a very quick quadrupedal robot from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). While four-legged robots have garnered no end of attention over the ...

The Mini Cheetah robot was made at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and has previously been seen backflipping. The robot learned to run faster than ever before after the researchers ...

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 ...

Curious about how Snopes' writers verify information and craft their stories for public consumption? We've collected some posts that help explain how we do what we do. Happy reading and let us know ...

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 ...

Scientists at Johannes Kepler University (JKU) have created steerable soft robots that are capable of running, swimming, and jumping at high speeds. During testing, the robots achieved a speed of 70 ...
