    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.

    • to save a life,” Kim said.
