Boston is a big city for robotics right now. Remember the viral Vine video of a robotic dog having some issues? That came from Boston Dynamics. But they’re seeing some robotic animal competition now ...

After hours of testing, I'm thrilled to announce that you can now run the MIT Mini Cheetah in Gazebo using https://t.co/2URXjJ01j6. #goROS pic.twitter.com/fp344m7VbQ ...

MIT's mini cheetah robot has broken its own personal best (PB) speed, hitting 8.72 mph (14.04 km/h) thanks to a new model-free reinforcement learning system that allows the robot to figure out on its ...

Scientists at MIT managed to teach a robot to run using machine learning. Normally robots are taught how to move across difficult terrain by preprogramming it into their code. This time, though, the ...

What's more disconcerting than watching MIT's dog-like Mini Cheetah robot cavort around? Nine of them doing it in unison. We've had concerns about MIT's robots for some time now, but a new video from ...

Hot on the heels of the news that researchers have attached a gun to a robotic dog, MIT researchers now say they’ve developed a ‘Cheetah’ capable of mimicking the speed and agility of legged robots ...

Four-legged robots have come a long way in the last decade. We've seen them learn to walk, jump and even climb stairs. While these are all impressive tasks that these robotic systems have successfully ...

If the dog-like mechanics of MIT’s Mini Cheetah robots have made you uneasy in the past, new footage of their latest excursion will do little to alleviate those fears. The engineering team has taken a ...

What’s better than a pretty nice legged robot? One with an alternate SDK version that opens up expensive features, of course. The author didn’t like that the original SDK only came as pre-compiled ...
