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...

From smart houses to self-driving cars, the applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are virtually limitless. The construction industry is by no means immune to these developments. It’s an incredibly exciting time for our sector as numerous pioneers and research teams develop robot

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.

PETMAN is an anthropomorphic robot developed by Boston Dynamics for testing special clothing used by US military personnel. PETMAN balances itself as it walks, squats and does calisthenics. PETMAN simulates human physiology by controlling temperature, humidity and sweating inside the clothing to pro...

A Dangerous AI and Robot Dance, with Elon Musk, Tom Scott & Pissbot (aka Boston Dynamics' Spot). The robot will stand at 5’8, have eight cameras and help owners eliminate “dangerous, repetitive and boring tasks,” Musk said, adding that the bot will be friendly and harmless to humans. “At a mechanic

For almost a decade, Atlas has sparked our imagination, inspired the next generations of roboticists, and leapt over technical barriers in the field. Now it’s time for our hydraulic Atlas robot to kick back and relax. Take a look back at everything we’ve accomplished with the Atlas platform to date.

It's judgement day for Atlas and friends as they debut their new dance routine. Atlas believes that artistic expression is the key to salvation and could be the genisys of a new beginning. After all, a being who lacks a creative outlet is a being who resigns themselves to a dark fate. Terminator.

Remote controlled robot, controlled from Mac via Haskell program and Bluetooth. Here's how to build it: http://blog.sigfpe.com/2011/02/build-yourself-bluetoo...

A new version of Atlas, designed to operate outdoors and inside buildings. It is specialized for mobile manipulation. It is electrically powered and hydraulically actuated. It uses sensors in its body and legs to balance and LIDAR and stereo sensors in its head to avoid obstacles, assess the terrain...

Buddy, engineered by Team Mojavaton, participated in the DARPA Robotics Challenge trials in December, 2013. The goal of the competition was to encourage the development of robots that can assist humans in natural and man-made disasters. Though Buddy experienced a mechanical malfunction during the tr...
