Cheetah robot walking speed 29km/h will break records

The robot "Cheetah" developed by Boston Power Engineering Company became the fastest four-legged robot.

According to foreign media reports, according to foreign media reports, the official website of the U.S. Department of Defense’s Advanced Research Projects Agency recently announced that the robot “Cheetah” that the agency commissioned by Boston Power Engineering Company has recently reached 18 miles per hour (approximately 29 kilometers per hour). The scores of the legged robots broke the highest record of land walking speed and became the fastest four-legged robot.

According to the U.S. Department of Defense’s Advanced Research Projects Agency, the goal of the “Cheetah” is to walk faster than humans and become a battlefield robot that can escape human pursuit. Boston Power Engineering has been working on the research of "Cheetah" robots, which is part of the "Maximum mobility and maneuverability plan" of the US Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

Mark Lebert, president of Boston Power Engineering, said, “The cheetah is flying. This is the first time we have seen a robot capable of speeding.” The highest walking record for a legged robot was 13.1 mph (approximately 21 hours an hour). Km) was created by the "planar two-footed robot" developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology legged robotics laboratory. However, the future "Cheetah" can run faster, the target speed of up to 70 miles per hour (about 113 kilometers per hour).

The "Cheetah" robot is actually one of many robots that use the biomechanics of real animals. These animals include fish and dogs. In addition to the "Cheetah", Boston Power Engineering Company also developed famous robots such as "Large Dog" and LS3. These robots are also designed for military use. In addition, Boston Power Engineering is developing a humanoid robot, code-named "Atlas," which can walk and jog upright, squeeze through narrow passageways, and use robotic arms to grab things. The company stated that in addition to military use, these robots can also be used for humanitarian aid, such as first aid and disaster response. (binbin)
