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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A cheetah robot funded by the U.S. military has broken the land speed record while running on a lab treadmill. Its robotic display of athleticism gives hope for new battlefield robots that could prove ...

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 ...

Some robotics challenges have immediately clear applications. Others are more focused on helping systems solve broader challenges. Teaching small robots to play soccer against one another fits firmly ...

When MIT first introduced their Mini Cheetah robots, they showed off by doing backflips and kicking around a soccer ball. Now scientists are taking those skills to the next level by teaching the ...
