At first sight, MIT's recently unveiled "Cheetah", may look like an assortment of gears, batteries and motors, but watch it in action and you will soon be reminded of its spotted namesake that also happens to be nature's fastest land predator. Though the robot cannot attain speeds of 60 mph like the real cheetah, the researchers believe they can bring it to race at least 30 mph making it the world's fastest quadruped robot and also, the fastest human (if it were one), since it would easily outrun Usain Bolt's maximum speed of 28 mph!

- Name here10년 이상Tying into my first comment, they should honestly, though I am only a mere 6th grader and no expert in the field, extend the legs further inward, so that the cheetah can achieve maximum velocity on the outwards launch of its stride, and achieve minimum ground-shock when descending onto its front legs. That's what I think, but given the ability of mechanical joints as they are today, I don't believe that a maximum required vector is possible, but at least a higher vector should be able to attain... Anyways, I'm done, ah, "geeking off", as they say.
- Name here10년 이상First of all, this is an amazing idea, design, and correlation to the main idea. But mainly, I'm elated! I went to Boston last summer, and I saw the first ever model and design for this. I can really tell the improvements! Amazing! This is the first Dogonews article that I, in all of my two years on this site, (I'm too lazy to log into my account), have a direct association with!
