In a leap for robot development, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers who built a robotic cheetah have now trained it to see and jump over hurdles as it runs—making th... Read more
In a rolling, outdoor field, full of lumps, bumps and uneven terrain, researchers at Oregon State University last week successfully field-tested for the first time the locomotion abilities o... Read more
With an eye toward making better running robots, researchers have made surprising new findings about some of nature’s most energy-efficient bipeds – running birds. Although birds are designe... Read more
New algorithm enables MIT cheetah robot to run and jump, untethered, across grass. Speed and agility are hallmarks of the cheetah: The big predator is the fastest land animal on Earth, able... Read more
