MIT engineers installed a new system in the robot, dubbed the "mini cheetah," that allows it to jump across gaps in the terrain.

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 ...

MIT improves its robo-cheetah by giving it the ability to bound and run around outside while untethered.

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 ...

The MIT engineers behind the robot mini cheetah released a video showcasing its new running and terrain-traversing skills on Thursday.

MIT's Mini Cheetah robot finally received a speed enhancement. This "Matrix"-like simulation allowed made it possible.

Creating a nigh-unstoppable robot seems like a mistake, but luckily the new cheetah is small and (currently) harmless.

The four-legged Mini Cheetah robot from MIT just got one step closer to earning its epic name, thanks to a style of machine learning that's reminiscent of Neo in The Matrix. With an unnatural ...

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 ...

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 ...

You’ve undoubtedly seen MIT’s cheetah robot. Well, [jegatheesan’s] hack takes a personal spin on the cheetah robot and his results are pretty cool.

MIT's effort is a bit more open, however, and its Web page shows a few of the technologies that makes the cheetah robot possible. A highly efficient leg motor, imitation tendons, and a responsive ...
