VIDEO: MIT’S “Cheetah" Robot, Can Jump over Hurdles while Running

MIT’s Scientists Spent Years Making the “Cheetah“ Robot a More Efficient Runner. Now that’s Done, its Creators probably Thought it was Time to Give it a Major Upgrade: the Metal Quadruped Can Now Autonomously Jump over Hurdles like a Trained Horse. Yes, it Can Automatically Detect and Leap over Multiple Objects while it Runs — Even without a Tether. The Scientists Claim, it’s the “first four-legged robot” to be Able to do so and we’ll Bet, they’ll Train it further to Leap over Much Higher Walls, as well as, Give Future Machines the Same Ability. Now, Where Can we Hide ? ;)
