Study Notes

The cheetah robot is inspired by the world's fastest land animal, the cheetah, and can run on batteries at speeds of more than 10 mph.
The robot's key features include powerful, lightweight motors, an algorithm that determines the amount of force a leg should exert during the split second it spends on the ground, and sensors that measure the angle of the leg and send that information to an onboard computer.
The project is funded by the U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
The military research arm is also funding a similar robot being developed by Boston Dynamics.
Researchers had to exercise a lot of patience during test runs in order to perfect the cheetah robot.
The results of their efforts are a strong, lightweight robot that is able to run and jump untethered.
