Wednesday Web Watch for September 17, 2014

redOrbit‘s Eric Hopton reports that MIT (supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)), employing a calculated force-based approach, has developed an algorithm giving a robot cheetah the “muscle power” to mimic the leaps & bounds of its living counterpart.  While still a bit slow, clocking in at 10 MPH, the confident research team foresees a future speed of 30 MPH – which is still 30 MPH short of a cheetah’s speed in the wild.  A purr-worthy success, nonetheless.
