Normally robots are taught how to move across difficult terrain by preprogramming it into their code. This time, though, the scientists at MIT used simulations to teach the Mini Cheetah to run ...

Engineers at MIT have developed a robot that they say is the first four-legged robot to run and jump over obstacles autonomously. Photo: Biomimetic Robotics Lab ...

We’ve seen many creative 3D designs here on Hackaday and [jegatheesan.soundarapandian’s] Baby MIT Cheetah Robot is no exception. You’ve undoubtedly seen MIT’s cheetah robot. Well, ...

The cheetah was the inspiration for the "cheetah robot," created by researchers at MIT and funded by the US military. Crafting the robot took five years of designing, testing, and tweaking.

Scientists at MIT's Biometrics Robotics Lab have now trained their robotic Cheetah to see and jump over hurdles as it runs, making this the first four-legged robot to run and jump over obstacles ...

The key to the robotic cheetah's stealth and agility is how hard its mechanical feet hit the ground, MIT researchers say in their latest video. The researchers working on the project, funded by ...

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. (WHDH) - A new robot created by a team of researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Notre Dame could save lives. The robot operates with a ...

By harnessing the bending vibrations of the piezoelectric beams, the robot mimics the periodic leg movements of a cheetah’s running gait. The researchers analyzed the dynamics and kinematics of ...

[Aaed] decided to try and build a quasi-direct drive actuator, similar to those used in MIT’s agile mini Cheetah robot. It consists of a powerful brushless DC motor driving a 9:1 planetary gear ...
