The body of the robot is 3D printed making it easy to customize the design and replace broken parts as you go. The legs are designed in a five-bar linkage with two servo motors controlling each of ...

A team of researchers at MIT have figured out a way to make a four-legged, cheetah-like robot run and jump more gracefully and efficiently. To get there, they studied animals like dogs and cats ...

MIT scientists think a robot that moves like a cheetah could help rescue people in disaster zones. It's blind, but scientists designed its flexible joints and agile limbs to be just as versatile ...

That's why the latest version of MIT's Cheetah robot, the Cheetah 3, is designed to move across rough terrain and through obstacles without relying on vision.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have announced the latest developments in their robotic cheetah project. The project aims to provide insights into how cheetahs can ...

If a robot that can run, jump and climb isn't your thing, maybe one that can do backflips is. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently unveiled a new video of its Mini Cheetah ...

By Sebastian Anthony September 16, 2014 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.

The Cheetah 3, however, marks a kind of philosophical change for the robot created by professor Sang-bae Kim and his team at MIT’s Biomimetics lab.

If a robot that can run, jump and climb isn’t your thing, maybe one that can do backflips is. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology recently unveiled a new video of its Mini Cheetah robot… ...

"When the robot is running, at every step, we calculate the appropriate amount of the force to the legs so that the robot can balance itself," said MIT research scientist Hae-Won Park, who wrote ...
