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 ...

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 ...

The robotic cheetah developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) just keeps getting more advanced. Since its debut in 2015, the four-legged, dog-sized robot known as “Mini Cheetah” has ...

Engineers at MIT have created a plethora of robots in recent years from machines that see with their feet to a cheetah automaton that can run through the grass. Now ...

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 ...

After hours of testing, I'm thrilled to announce that you can now run the MIT Mini Cheetah in Gazebo using https://t.co/2URXjJ01j6. #goROS pic.twitter.com/fp344m7VbQ ...

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 ...

Four-legged robots have come a long way in the last decade. We've seen them learn to walk, jump and even climb stairs. While these are all impressive tasks that these robotic systems have successfully ...

MIT's mini cheetah robot has broken its own personal best (PB) speed, hitting 8.72 mph (14.04 km/h) thanks to a new model-free reinforcement learning system that allows the robot to figure out on its ...

Last week, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Biometric Robotics Lab shared a video of nine robotic "cheetahs" playing soccer with one another. The Mini Cheetahs are shown walking in a straight ...

Although not nearly holding a Usain Bolt speed, MIT's Biomimetics Lab recently surpassed the speed record for a robotic Mini Cheetah. However, it is worth noting that the MIT researchers did not teach ...
