An uncut video of the AgileQuad demonstrating its reactive controller that provides agile avoidance maneuvers for high speed obstacles, such as a fencing blade. This research is conducted at Stanford's Autonomous Systems Laboratory.

Developed by the MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering's Biomimetic Robotics Lab under the direction of Associate Professor Sangbae Kim, the quadruped MIT Cheetah has made headlines for its dynamic legged gait, speed, jumping ability, and biomimetic design.

Students in David Lentink's Bio-mechanics of Flight class use a special high-speed camera to discover new, never-before-seen intricacies of flight. Students use the slow motion video to analyze flight parameters for future applications.

While the engines in propeller-powered aircraft generally achieve their maximum efficiency at much lower speeds and altitudes, jet engines achieve maximum efficiency at speeds close to or even well above the speed of sound. Check out this spectacular landing in NYC's JFK Airport.

The global conservation movement has reached a turning point. We have documented the fast pace of habitat loss, the growing number of endangered and extinct species, and the increasing speed of global climate change.

Yet while the seriousness of these threats cannot be denied,

Cheetah Robot is a fast-running quadruped developed by Boston Dynamics with funding from DARPA. It just blazed past its previous speed record, getting up to 28.3 mph, about 0.5 mph faster than Usain Bolt's fastest 20 meter split. This version of the Cheetah Robot runs on a treadmill with offboard po...

Video of SpaceX's 5.2m fairing—designed in-house by SpaceX—undergoing testing in the world's largest vacuum chamber at NASA Glenn Research Center -- Plum Brook Station. SpaceX's fairing is used to protect a satellite during launch. Separation occurs when the rocket is traveling over 4x faster than a

Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of all-stars as the global blockbuster franchise built on speed races to its next continent in "Fast & Furious 6." Reuniting for their most high-stakes adventure yet, fan favorites Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson,...

“Phase 2” was successfully completed in August, 2017 on the company’s test track spanning more than 1,600 feet in the Nevada desert, the company said in a statement. Ride a pod down the Tron-like pipes of Hyperloop One, which just took a big stride toward the day it flings you between cities in near

The BFR will be capable of taking people from any city to any other city on Earth in under one hour. Elon Musk laid out a set of ambitious plans on Thursday for a vehicle he has dubbed the Big Fucking Rocket (BFR). The massive spaceship will not only ferry people around on Earth in minuscule amount...
