Researchers have created a robotic cheetah that can—for the first time—autonomously detect objects and jump over them without slowing down. The team of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have demonstrated how the futuristic four-legged robot is able to clear half-meter (18 inch) hurdles, while moving at a speed of 5 mph, in the video below. Before jumping over a hurdle, the robotic cheetah plans out its path in a similar way to a human runner. It estimates the height and distance of the object it’s approaching, decides on the best position to jump and exerts the force needed to leap over the object and land safely.
