The brainy folks at MIT have outdone themselves again. Not only did they develop a robot that can run untethered while mimicking the bounding gate of a quadruped, but now their speedy cheetah can even jump.
Researchers at Paris's Pierre and Marie Curie University have created robots that can use experiences from simulated lives to "heal" themselves. This makes robots more autonomous, effective, and robust-and more capable of disaster relief work.
