Those motors give the robot three degrees of freedom and a significant range of motion, and the lightweight design allows the robot — which MIT is calling its Mini Cheetah — to pull of fast ...

The cheetah was the inspiration for the "cheetah robot," created by researchers at MIT and funded by the US military. Crafting the robot took five years of designing, testing, and tweaking.

We’ve seen many creative 3D designs here on Hackaday and [jegatheesan.soundarapandian’s] Baby MIT Cheetah Robot is no exception. You’ve undoubtedly seen MIT’s cheetah robot. Well, ...
