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, ...

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 ...

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 ...
