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 ...

The MIT team managed something similar for the Mini Cheetah using AI and modern simulation tools. The robot can gain 100 days worth of experience in just three hours of actual time.

Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a four-legged mini cheetah robot that is able to pull off picture-perfect backflips. Here are some of the other tricks it can ...

MIT small Cheetah robot getting notably more agile "The lightweight, high-torque, low-inertia design enables the robot to execute fast, dynamic maneuvers and make high-force impacts on the ground ...

Simulation and freedom to make no-consequence errors make the difference. Previous running control systems for robots like Boston Dynamics’ robots and the MIT Cheetah 3 were analytically designed.

MIT's scrappy little Mini Cheetah robot is a cutie-pie of a robotic quadruped. It's also an accomplished gymnast. MIT says the plucky machine is the first four-legged robot to do a backflip.

MIT's robotic cheetah has gained a new sidekick, and the nimble sibling of the four-legged galloping droid has a few impressive tricks of its own. Smaller, lighter and not to be outshone, the Mini ...

MIT researchers say their four-legged "Mini Cheetah" robot is the first quadrupedal robot to do a back somersault.

Their latest creepy invention is a robotic "cheetah" that can run, bound, and jump obstacles in its path all while running on a quiet electric motor, giving the robot its stealthy cat-like quality.

To keep itself upright, the mini cheetah has to make more 30 decisions per second, Kim said. That versatility, and resilience if it falls, are what make this robot special–and very good at ...
