While robots have been getting more and more sophisticated over the last decade, we have always been superior over the lumbering beasts in one respect - our speed on foot. However that might soon ...

Robots are likely not the first thing you think of when you hear the word "speed," but one group of researchers is trying to quell the stereotype of a lumbering robot with a machine built to move more ...

It has been developed by engineers at MIT and is even able to rapidly traverse ice and gravel. Billed as 'virtually indestructible', they said it had learned how to race across a range of different ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Boston Dynamics have unleashed a legged robot that's even faster than Olympic champion Usain Bolt. The Cheetah recently broke its own land ...

A four-legged robot "cheetah" with the agility of a champion gymnast and the ability to do a backflip is "virtually indestructable", according to its creators. The mini cheetah robot, developed by ...

Not content with creating a robot able to fold itself up like origami, or the human-like Baxter which can farm in space, scientists have made a robot that is able to run and jump just like a cheetah.

Engineers at MIT have demonstrated an updated version of their robotic cheetah technology that is able to climb stairs and gallop across rough terrain without using cameras or any other visual sensors ...

A robotic cheetah that can silently run and jump at speed has been showcased in the USA by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) this week. The mechanical big cat - a ...

It seems inevitable that robots will one day overthrow humanity and then set about exterminating us all. Now we’ve moved one step closer to digital doomsday with the arrival of a scary robot which can ...

A robot cheetah has been trained to run and jump over hurdles by MIT scientists. A video released by the scientists shows the robot running at 5mph (a third of a human's average running speed) and ...

Engineers have revealed a robot that runs on batteries at speeds of more than 10mph, jump 16 inches and gallop for at least 15 minutes while using less power than a microwave. The robot is called the ...
