Boston Dynamics · Quadruped · 2013
WildCat (2013) was the untethered evolution of Cheetah — a DARPA-funded quadruped with an onboard combustion engine driving its hydraulics, able to gallop and bound freely at up to ~19 mph (8.8 m/s) on flat ground. It demonstrated high-speed, untethered legged locomotion, though it was extremely loud.
