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 ...

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 long-jumping, back-flipping mini cheetah is at it again — and this time, it’s taught itself how to run. The engineers behind the robot released a video showcasing its new skills on Thursday. In ...

If a robot that can run, jump and climb isn't your thing, maybe one that can do backflips is. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently unveiled a new video of its Mini Cheetah robot, ...

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 ...

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 ...

MIT's Biomimetic Robotics Laboratory has published a new video showing off its Mini Cheetah robot and a trick has learned: backflips. The robot features a four-legged design and weighs just under ...

MIT has been working on robots going back for years, and with each new generation, the bots get more capable. The MIT Biomimetic Robotics Laboratory has trotted out a new robot that is called the Mini ...

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 ...

Curious about how Snopes' writers verify information and craft their stories for public consumption? We've collected some posts that help explain how we do what we do. Happy reading and let us know ...

Although not nearly holding a Usain Bolt speed, MIT's Biomimetics Lab recently surpassed the speed record for a robotic Mini Cheetah. However, it is worth noting that the MIT researchers did not teach ...
