MIT · Quadruped · 2018
MIT Biomimetic Robotics Lab's blind dynamic quadruped (Sangbae Kim). Using high-torque backdriveable electric motors and pure proprioception — no cameras — Cheetah 3 climbs stairs, recovers from shoves and runs ~3 m/s. Successor to the 6 m/s tethered MIT Cheetah; its actuator design seeded Mini Cheetah and much of modern legged robotics.
