  • A new method allows MIT's Mini Cheetah to learn how to run fast and adapt to walking on challenging terrain. This learning-based method outperforms previous human-designed methods and allowed the Mini Cheetah to set a record for speed.

    The work was supported by DARPA Machine Common Sense Program, Naver Labs, MIT Biomimetic Robotics Lab, and the NSF AI Institute of AI and Fundamental Interactions. The research was conducted at the Improbable AI Lab.

    The military contract has been put through and mini cheetahs have been released to the battlefield. The opposing forced hold their positions as small whines and clicks are heard in the distance. Then magnifies to a dull roar.... *squeak squeak squeak* hundreds, no thousands of tiny robots scramble across the horizon towards the encampment. A robot spider army races with malicious intent, nothing can stop them, especially not gravel.
