This is the first four-legged robot to autonomously detect and clear obstacles in real time. MIT's cheetah robot can now jump over hurdles. Yup, this hunk of metal can autonomously detect and clear ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Cheetahs are known for their speed, but the robotic Cheetah 2 ...

(Nanowerk News) In a leap for robot development, the MIT researchers who built a robotic cheetah have now trained it to see and jump over hurdles as it runs — making this the first four-legged robot ...

What MIT’s robotic cheetah has just achieved is as impressive as it is scary—researchers at the prestigious technology university have trained a robot to see and jump hurdles as it runs, making it the ...

While it is completely natural for human beings and other animals to walk and jump, replicating those processes robotically is one of technology’s greatest challenges. Which makes teaching a robotic ...

MIT’s robotic cheetah has some incredible developments since it first debuted in 2014. It’s now making history as the first four-legged robot to jump over obstacles autonomously. Scientist have given ...

Researchers over at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have spent the better part of the last few years building a mechanical quadruped capable of not only running at a fast pace, but also ...

MIT researchers' previously shown ‘cheetah-bot,’ a robot that resembles — you guessed it — the fastest land animal on earth, can run up to 10 mph. The robot's latest enhancements, however, have ...

Some of you might remember seeing the (somewhat terrifying) video of one of the world’s first fully-functional, four-legged robots we posted about not too long ago. Or you may remember another post ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a cheetah robot, which is the first four-legged robot that can run and also jump over hurdles autonomously. Sangbae Kim, ...

It may someday do work that's impossible for humans. The “blind” Cheetah 3 robot can climb stairs, jump on a desk and shove, thanks to new algorithms developed by researchers at the Massachusetts ...

MIT's biomimetic robotics lab, which last year developed a free-running untethered cheetah robot capable of bounding along at 10mph, has now created a new version—Cheetah 2—that can autonomously jump ...
