***** is it not already running like one. they only need to cover its skeleton with prosthetic cheetah it looks like cheetah. before with the safety harness it looks stupid but since it can now move without those harness, the cheetah gonna be legit in no time.
Adamantium is a fictional metal alloy in the Marvel Comics Universe best known for being the substance bonded to the character Wolverine's skeleton and bone claws.
Proud to be a Mechanical Engineer....great achievement, really looking forward to more improvements and refinements into this project....this is pushing the boundaries in Mechanical engineering......especially the kinematics and dynamics.....great job...
Well it's not Big Dog or LS3 (which are designed to carry loads) and they've only just got it off the tether. I can't find any specs on payload for Wild Cat, but it doesn't seem to be designed to carry loads either. Plus the electric motor and battery technology spaces are advancing at a more rapid clip than combustion technology. So, ya know... :)
Should I imagine it actually shooting the weapon intelligently? Is the weapon just duct taped to the side of the "robot"? After viewing this anamatronic prop, I am assuming they will use duct tape.
I just noticed that at 1:59-2:06 the robot is cropped into the background. On a side note, it would be cool if the robot ran like a "normal quadruped", but I understand that would be a future challenge to undertake.
A massive amount of power in a cheetah's sprint is gained from the stretching and coiling of its spine so this is still pretty far off the mark. To call it specifically a robotic cheetah is somewhat naive.
As an above knee amputee, I use the X-2 from Ottobock. It has "extension" built-in. I can see from the video, this technology will have to become more fluid to gain more speed in the cheetah.
Unlike a Cheetah or any quadruped, this device is very primitive. It will need a simulated spinal section and shoulders with several more motors to perform any lateral movements with any degree of even simple dexterity. This venture is interesting in demonstrating how ineffective screws, bolts, nuts, armatures, wiring, etc. is vs its biological counterparts.
In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
Good point GOZR, but they've probably thought of that already. First things first. Just to get it to do what it does is an achievement, even if it looks rather stiff. Next is better articulation for faster speeds and agility, with finer tuning along the way. The weight of the batteries will have to be overcome if it is to last a decent amount of time while doing its thing. With (higher)power to (lower)weight ratio getting better, soon it will be able to catch a frisbee:) Whether it's emulating a dog or a cheetah doesn't really matter. These robot quadripeds will soon be used for warfare (first) if DARPA gets its way. By the time it gets to consumer level, it'll be a plug-in pet that wont have to be fed or pick up its poop, but it's gonna cost you.
Kevin Davis They might be human, but they are at least twice as smart as you and I. Trust me whatever we come up with in our feeble little minds they already thought of. It is their job.
A very good start, but right now it is running more like a rabbit than a cheetah, it will be interesting to see it when it runs a speed with the proper stride. Looking forward to see the progress.
Not as smooth but it's way way more quiet. Can you imagine using 'big dog' in it's current iteration in a warzone? They'd hear you coming from 5km away.
Is it crucial the front and rear legs move in sync with one another? I wonder if the speed could be increased if the legs moved independently? I'm sure this has already been considered, but Cheetah's legs extend at different intervals. Possible relationship between left and right, as opposed to front and back.
Again engineers proving that to get something that works well needs Intelligence and Design. The real cheetah must have required a whole lot more intelligent input than this copy.
Jake let me change my name Dagger back to normal Not sure what your reply means. That facts of this video show that to get something useful one needs to exercise intelligence and design. If the robot is designed by intelligent beings, and I have no doubt the engineers are intelligent, then the cheetah which is more complex and efficient must have more intelligence and engineering behind it. This implies a Creator whose mind is so vast that we can hardly conceive how vast His knowledge might be.
pastor Larry Larry, can't you see how circular your logic is? If the created need a creator then God must have been made by something even more complex which was, in turn, made by something more complex still..... ad infinitum. All you've done by answering the question - from whence came life? - with God, is to pose the next logical question - from whence came God?
This invention looks very promising. Soon they will make a 2 legged running and jumping machine that will soon convert into a tank with two legs. We will call this weapon Gekko.
***** Karl, what do most people think about what the NSA has been doing? Collecting everything about our personal lives, every email, every phone call, every text, every picture, and they got caught red handed by someone who literally put his life on the line for us. And has that stopped? Not one little bit. Even if the public came out and demanded the program be defunded, it would continue to be funded under the guise of 'national security' and it would just go dark. I think you underestimate the near limitless power and funding of the Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex.
Now just add the following macro systems - digestive system, circulatory system, aerobic gas processing system, heat control mechanisms, reproductive system, all self regulated and these guys will be scratching the surface of God's amazing design of these creatures.
You guys need to add a spine, that's where the cheetah gets most of its speed from. I would try a simple compressible mid section that allows the hind legs to move up more to achieve more momentum. If you look at a cheetah running closely you sometimes see it's hind feet reach or pass it's front feet as it runs.
I dreamed doing a project like this when I was an undergraduate in college. It almost makes me want to go back to grad school and focus on the field of robotics. WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY.
New complex tech is always followed by hyperbole, but I can see these legs being useful for off road vehicles. On the highway no way. If it's made more efficient, and more flexible it might be a great mountain climber.
***** It does some what make sense. Having to build the roads that wheels are used on is inefficient. Imagine all legged creatures instead having wheels with the requirement that roads be layed down first for them to get anywhere.
***** Nope. I work around guys like this. They marry the first thing that stops moving in their field of view long enough to get their attention. This is almost always a colleague just as introverted, or someone pushed on them by a friend.
joshua43214 It sounds like you're just jealous that these guys made a cool invention. Anyone can talk to a girl, but not everyone can build a robot cheetah.
Equeon lol. Actually, I would not work around guys like this if I was not one of them, except that I work in the field of computational biology and molecular biology. For these guys, it IS easier to build a robot cheetah than to talk to a girl. They used to turn red and reach for their tissues when my GF would visit (she is less than half my age and hot), until they discovered that she held a math degree and was just as geeky as them. Now they want to know how to get a girl just like her.
Wow scathing words from someone who probably never built a robot in his life. You make it sound like it's a piece of cake to create these things. This robot is in it's infant phase. Soon it will be able to run as fast as an actual cheetah. But people like you are never satisfied, you will probably find something that's not to your liking and you will bitch about it on youtube.
if you looked close enough at the cheetah, you would also see its flexible spine adding to the range of motion that the animal has. if you incorporate a powered hinge to mimic the cheetah's spine you would gain even more speed
Electric powered hydraulics does work. This custom built boat or lake tractor runs all day with out recharging. Lake Tractor Picking up and placing boat lift.
Very impressive, indeed!!! However I'm interested: Is it completly independent development of MIT or it somehow correlates with developments of Boston Dynamics, especially in software field?
The locomotion is pretty well done, however the glaring issue is the manner in which the Cheetah uses its spine during locomotion. The Cheetah's spine flexion during its sprint essentially recoils like a spring adding more power and propulsion. You don't see that in the robot, just the legs moving and the spine stiff as a board. Easier said than done of course, and these guys have done a wonderful job, but until they can develop the spine to function like the Cheetah's, they're leaving power off the board.
0:37 this catlike predator drone is about research for prosthetic limbs funny, the one book i found about DARPA's author said that everything was classified except for a few items and especially prosthetics
The cheetah has a much longer throw of the hind legs. From the shoulders back to stretched out back. That one there is a diarrhea gait :) The obvious first step is to duplicate the layout of the cheetah and the range of motion. Otherwise how could you get the gait right. With a cryogenic cooling liquid you might be able to get the power density of the cheetah in a short sprint. For lab runs you can have hoses of liquid nitrogen running through the motors. Copper resistance falls considerably at LN temperatures. Battery power density should be easy enough with products like A123 cells. Or simply toy RC lithium batteries. Power electronics is plenty powerful. Use relatively high voltage, say 100V for thinner wiring and lighter power electronics.
I see a stiff back and disproportionate leg to torso ratio. Most quadrapeds use a compression and release between rear and front legs to proper faster. Good start though.
What about making the "spine" more flexible with stabilizing back and abdominal "muscles"? This might make the "ride" more fluid and efficient between the front and back motions.
when i saw the tittle i was like woah robots from future this is the evolution! ,as soon as i saw that toy jumping and moving like a turtle i couldnt stop laughing
Hopefully I'll be alive when the cheetah is running around like an actual cheetah.
***** Unless you are in your 80's there is a good chance.
***** is it not already running like one. they only need to cover its skeleton with prosthetic cheetah it looks like cheetah. before with the safety harness it looks stupid but since it can now move without those harness, the cheetah gonna be legit in no time.
*****
Well I want it to run like a cheetah at hyper speed. Its like Asimo who is trying to walk like a human do you walk like Asimo, I don't.
*****
10 years from now. [2025] maybe it will be a reality.
*****
We'll see.
I can already picture an army of ten foot tall adamantium cheetahs running around killing everyone.
There are worse ways to go.
Good idea for a movie script. Reality, at least based on what the boston tardnamics and tardnology have to offer, is different however.
Chance Williams Eleven foot tall adamantium cheetahs.
Adamantium is a fictional metal alloy in the Marvel Comics Universe best known for being the substance bonded to the character Wolverine's skeleton and bone claws.
if you build it, they will come.
Proud to be a Mechanical Engineer....great achievement, really looking forward to more improvements and refinements into this project....this is pushing the boundaries in Mechanical engineering......especially the kinematics and dynamics.....great job...
Looks like Wild Cat from Boston Dynamics, but big difference: no hydraulics, no combustion engine. And it's only about 30% slower - so far...
and has zero payload capacity.....it looks like it's at it's weight limit already.
as far as I could see, its capacity is enough for a couple of minutes, LOL
Well it's not Big Dog or LS3 (which are designed to carry loads) and they've only just got it off the tether. I can't find any specs on payload for Wild Cat, but it doesn't seem to be designed to carry loads either.
Plus the electric motor and battery technology spaces are advancing at a more rapid clip than combustion technology.
So, ya know... :)
Amazing and inspiring work!!
But this kind of cracked me up - "We would like our robots to run fast like cheetah" - @0:52 - the background music XD.
this robot cat or dog?
is rat
since its based on the cheetah I'm guessing cat
Now it just needs the ability to transform into a cassette tape and I think we're in business
Imagine this on a larger scale & carrying a weapon.
just had the same thought, we're fucked lol
This is exactly what DARPA is imagining. ;-)
Should I imagine it actually shooting the weapon intelligently? Is the weapon just duct taped to the side of the "robot"? After viewing this anamatronic prop, I am assuming they will use duct tape.
Ravage?
Exactly. Humans are digging a hole for themselves.
I just noticed that at 1:59-2:06 the robot is cropped into the background. On a side note, it would be cool if the robot ran like a "normal quadruped", but I understand that would be a future challenge to undertake.
cheetahs have much longer legs, this bouncing robot runs like a rabbit XD

A massive amount of power in a cheetah's sprint is gained from the stretching and coiling of its spine so this is still pretty far off the mark. To call it specifically a robotic cheetah is somewhat naive.
I don't think you can call that a cheetah, more like a disabled dog
it can still run faster than you.
L
And you admit that it is a dog.
well try making one that actually runs like a cheeta then
Sophie Talia it can only run 10 miles an hours.... thats not that fast
As an above knee amputee, I use the X-2 from Ottobock. It has "extension" built-in. I can see from the video, this technology will have to become more fluid to gain more speed in the cheetah.
Robotics is literally moving ahead by leaps and bounds.
don't you hate it when you go to the gym and the robotic cheetah drips motor oil all over the treadmill? Every time, cheetah!!
How can you call it a cheetah if it runs 10 MPH
It's gait is similar to a cheetah while running. More efficient.
Good point, real cheetah tops out @ about 60 mph-- still fun robot, would be a bumpy ride tho-
I love the minute 1:09. They're like "Here is the fucking cheetah, in case you missed it."
Unlike a Cheetah or any quadruped, this device is very primitive. It will need a simulated spinal section and shoulders with several more motors to perform any lateral movements with any degree of even simple dexterity. This venture is interesting in demonstrating how ineffective screws, bolts, nuts, armatures, wiring, etc. is vs its biological counterparts.
10 MPH?! this thing runs faster than I can...
I thought this was Japan cause they're all Asian but apparently it's Massachusetts.

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
Make it with a flexible back. the problem is you need to have movement also from the back location.. ( vertebrates )..

Ebele Onwugbufor no, but it reveals the lack of perspective and thoughtfulness in your statement. your snarky reply is fitting.
meh, just another ignorant comment.

I'm sure this has already been considered, but Cheetah's legs extend at different intervals. Possible relationship between left and right, as opposed to front and back.
It runs nothing like a cheetah, not the same movements or near the same speed.
Baby steps... baby steps. That's the way of most significant technological advances.
It's in development, it's not that easy to make a robot.
Mr. Banekitty did I say it was easy to make a robot? No. I was just stating that it's nothing like a cheetah therefore shouldn't be labelled as one.
Nostalgia Gaming what did I tell you? Oh yeah! They didn't make the freaking design or same speed because it's in *DEVELOPMENT*!
They are focusing on the movement not speed or looks yet... It can run 10 mph that's like a normal human.
This cheetah still has billions of years of extreme evolution ahead, cause right now it runs like a goat.
Again engineers proving that to get something that works well needs Intelligence and Design. The real cheetah must have required a whole lot more intelligent input than this copy.
Or that was created by an Almighty God.
pastor Larry Or Aliens!
Unless you consider God to be something that doesn't "work well" by your reasoning you also need an intelligent designer to create God.

We wont replace wheels with legs.
The efficiency isn't even close.

a cheetah has a very flexible body. u certainly can't expect that from a robot made of metal.
It's nearly 2015 and this is the best we can do? You dare think yourself smart for making a robot that runs at 10 mph?
To put the progress into context: It took Darwin/Natural Selection several million years to come up with Cheetah 1.0...
The question is can you build a robot like this? Why would you call these grad students stupid?
Kenneth Sizer The Japanese had an infinitely more capable platform 10 years ago. Try again.

I normally find robots to look creepy, the metal bits and form-meets-the-function design. But this one is adorable. Its little legs are so derpy.
What's the purpose and use of this cheetah
Looks more like frog jumps and leaps rather than cheetah movements. You're using the same motions on the treadmill?
so when will we able to ride our own robotic cheetah? This happens to be one of my bucket list.
Very impressive, indeed!!! However I'm interested: Is it completly independent development of MIT or it somehow correlates with developments of Boston Dynamics, especially in software field?

Thanks for the thoughts you have shared here.
Impressive. And the actual cheeta just got way more impressive.
you guys managed to make a future death machine look absolutely adorable by adding a head on it XD lol
If you didnt know it was a cheetah you might think it is a pug.
Why does this thing remind me so much of the robotic dogs used to hunt book-lovers in Fahrenheit 451?
I'm sure there's already a military contract requisitioning 1000 of these with machine guns on them.
I love how they had to add 'actual cheetah'
...I'll really be impressed when they have a whole team of cheetah robots that can come together and form VOLTRON.
This is amazing! MIT has a football field.
I find the dead-eyed, thousand yard stares of these engineers to be far creepier than the robot.
And then one day they came into the lab and noticed all the computer mice were missing...
A strong mechanical equivalent of the Cheetah's flexible backbone will be a neat trick.
I realize it's hard to go 60 on a 10 MPH budget.
These people are geniuses! Keep up the good work.
The cheetah has a much longer throw of the hind legs. From the shoulders back to stretched out back. That one there is a diarrhea gait :)

looks like a rabbit mixed with a frog and a kangaroo.
I see a stiff back and disproportionate leg to torso ratio. Most quadrapeds use a compression and release between rear and front legs to proper faster. Good start though.
0:21-0:24
Uh....you may want to reshoot that part.
Brilliant work. I hope you're good scientists.
Why a static spine?
Pronghorn can reach top speeds of around 55 mph and can run at a steady clip of 30 mph for over 20 miles. :P
This robot isn't running, it's hopping.
A cheetah bends its spine so that its rear feet can move far forward and take longer strides.
You have to make the spine flexible to compete.
Take your time MIT please.
That cheetah's running like it has to go to the bathroom
Very wonderful chhetah at MIT. How to apply link at MIT university. I From India.. Please approize me..
Little known facts-The mostly Korean team thought it would be great to get the robot cheetah to run in Gagnam Style but MIT nixed that idea.
It can't go very fast but it is a start.
Its not about making a robot cheetah.
Its testing robotic locomotion and it does look impressive.
The way it runs makes me think more of rabbits. Large robotic killer rabbits...
William Hung has just been added to the team of scientists.
Cheetah? it runs almost exactly like my Chow Chow ran
What about making the "spine" more flexible with stabilizing back and abdominal "muscles"? This might make the "ride" more fluid and efficient between the front and back motions.
well.. at least when they take over it will look pretty sweet. Thanks MIT.
when i saw the tittle i was like woah robots from future this is the evolution! ,as soon as i saw that toy jumping and moving like a turtle i couldnt stop laughing
sooo when will it run like a regular cheetah?
how is that even built?
Am I the only one who found myself laughing my ass off at this?
that is so swell i have never seen anything like it
wait did he say new transportation replacing cars? awesome way of moving around riding a robot. yes!
The music makes this video feel like a parody about these kinds of videos.
Great! But does it blend?
You're missing a crucial component - the tail. You'd be able to jump higher and make faster turns if your robot had a counterweight at its rear end
