Boston is a big city for robotics right now. Remember the viral Vine video of a robotic dog having some issues? That came from Boston Dynamics. But they’re seeing some robotic animal competition now ...

MIT’s Biomimetics Lab recently broke the speed record for a robotic Mini Cheetah: not quite Usain Bolt speed, but probably faster than you can run. But this robot can’t see, and MIT’s researchers didn ...

There's a new version of a very quick quadrupedal robot from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). While four-legged robots have garnered no end of attention over the ...
