MIT researchers have developed an algorithm for bounding that they've successfully implemented in a robotic cheetah. (Learn more: http://mitsha.re/YCipV) The MIT Cheetah 2 contains the custom electric motor designed by Jeffrey Lang, the Vitesse Professor of Electrical Engineering at MIT and the amplifier designed by David Otten, a principal research engineer in MIT’s Research Laboratory of Electronics. This work was supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

In the future we'll be dominated by robotic cheetahs, write what im saying guys! Im warning you all!
-
You could use hydraulic legs like the thing that pushes back making the jump higher
-
I don't think you can call that a cheetah, more like a disabled dog
-
amazing
-
The electric cheetah doesn't seem to have nearly the range of motion of the real cheetah...
-
where is the cheetah's tail? isnt it more balanced with tail?
-
also it's impossible to capture the total movements of cheetah using robotic parts because.... anyways do not harm cheetah!! please keep environment in mind while making anything. will the cost of making robo cheetah be too much for environment? why are u doing it? everything costs a lot of natural resources and environment. don't u care about the globe and environment over a robo cheetah? do people want to run as fast as cheetah or can realistically applying robo cheetah to human prosthetic legs?
-
omg no tail or head..how scary
-
omg... why the cheetah running around with no head? any cheetah in the world does this? how does this robot capture the total movements of a cheetah? it is completely off balanced without its head to algorithmically represent the total movement of cheetah while at still, running or trying to! what was the point of this? is this a tank or what is this thing? and why capture a bad headless cheetah is this Halloween?

wow
-
the institute brought me here.
-
Thanks for the thoughts you have shared here.
-
Shit looks useless
-
Really, really cool. But it strikes me that one major difference between the robot and an actual cheetah in a mechanical sense is that the cheetah has a flexible spine. The robot seems quite rigid.
-
more like a giant bunny bot
-
scale it up and build giant robots
-
Its 200 times Excellent robots. great robots.
-
Asians on top bitches!

Put A Minigun On Its Top. We Allready Have Invis Cloaks, jumpsuits, drones and securty systems controlled by AI. And Then We'll Just Need A Pyschopath Spanish Terrorist Named Menendez And There You Go! Fucking Carl On Duty Black Cops Are The Same As 2016. We just need to reach 2025 Alive...

if you know your stuff, you should know that flex in the spine is good for speed. Not ridged!
