To make their Mini Cheetah better equipped to skillfully scramble across varying terrains, robotics researchers at MIT’s CSAIL used AI-powered simulations to quickly teach the bot to adapt its walking ...

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 ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...

The robotic cheetah developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) just keeps getting more advanced. Since its debut in 2015, the four-legged, dog-sized robot known as "Mini Cheetah ...

MIT's cheetah robot, also funded by DARPA, may offer some insight into how to build a stealthier bot. Follow Elizabeth Palermo @techEpalermo. Follow Live Science @livescience, Facebook & Google+.

Mini Cheetah, the fastest robot of its build, poses with its lead AI researcher Gabriel Margolis and a friend's dog, Olive. MIT CSAIL ...

The four-legged Mini Cheetah robot from MIT just got one step closer to earning its epic name, thanks to a style of machine learning that's reminiscent of Neo in The Matrix. With an unnatural ...

It's a robot unlike any other. Inspired by the world's fastest land animal, researchers at MIT unveiled the "cheetah robot" that can run and jump on its own power. Engineers have high hopes the rob ...

What just happened? Scientists at MIT'S Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have trained a robotic cheetah to break the record for the fastest run ever recorded. The ...

Like a real cheetah, the robot is designed to build up to a full sprint quickly by moving its legs in tandem (i.e., its back legs move together, as do its front legs) — a pattern of movement known as ...

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 ...
