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 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 ...

MIT's Mini Cheetah has managed to set a new record for the fastest run speed ever recorded in the robot thanks to a new learning method.

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 ...
