ROBOTIC CHEETAH

Robotic Cheetah Sets a New Robot Land Speed Record, Leaves Humans in its Dust 

 

                   From the makers of the Terminator-esque Petman and the load-bearing Alpha Dog, comes Boston Dynamics's latest robotic terror: a robotic Cheetah.

                   The new Cheetah is the latest animatronic creation to come out of DARPA's Maximum Mobility and Manipulation program. It is the fastest four-legged robot in the world, and it can reach speeds of 18 miles-per-hour; the previous land-speed record for a four-legged robot was 13.1mph set by MIT in 1989.
