A new bionic knee allows amputees to walk faster, climb stairs more easily, and adroitly avoid obstacles, researchers ...

MIT’s Biomimetics Lab recently broke the speed record for a robotic Mini Cheetah: not quite Usain Bolt speed, but probably faster than you can run.

The MIT researchers’ workaround was to use reinforcement learning, a goal-driven form of machine learning, to help a robot like Mini Cheetah figure out how to reach its top speed on its own.

AI-powered simulations let the robot learn all by itself how to efficiently move on all types of terrain.

Meet the super robots that are about to lap the world's fastest humans.

Our new captioned movie shows MIT's "virtually indestructible" mini cheetah robot performing a host of athletic manoeuvres.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT’s new mini cheetah robot is springy and light on its feet, with a range of motion that rivals a champion gymnast. The four-legged powerpack can bend and swing its legs ...

MIT researchers say they have developed the first four-legged robot capable of executing a backflip. Similar robots could someday be used for search-and-rescue missions and surveillance, experts say.

Now, MIT has developed a new version of the cheetah robot that's smaller, more agile, and can even do a backflip. Plus, it can right itself if knocked over by a clumsy or malicious human.
