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 ...

Curious about how Snopes' writers verify information and craft their stories for public consumption? We've collected some posts that help explain how we do what we do. Happy reading and let us know ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Mini Cheetah robot was made at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and has previously been seen backflipping. The robot learned to run faster than ever before after the researchers ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. But this robot can’t see, and MIT’s researchers didn ...

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 ...
