Cheetah -- the robot, not the animal, which is said to regularly hit 59 mph -- and Raptor are a contrast in engineering styles. Cheetah is big and bulky, whereas Raptor, named so for its likeness ...

Many robotic researchers mimic living animals in their creations, such as cats, dogs, birds, kangaroos, humans. Fine and good. The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) would ...

Google doesn’t have a monopoly on all the horrifying-but-awesome robots. Sure, Wild Cat looks pretty ready to track down the last remaining humans, but this velociraptor-inspired robot would win ...

Raptor, a new sprinting robot, is competing for the fastest such device in the world, with comparable speeds to competing designs like the Cheetah and Outrunner. Korea Advanced Institute of ...

The Raptor robot is capable of running close to DARPA’s robotic cheetah design that can reach speeds of 29.2 mph (47 km/h). However the design of the Raptor robot is much less complicated and ...

The fastest any human has ever run on record was Usain Bolt. He was clocked at a ridiculously quick 27.79 mph (44.72 km/h) when he ran a 9.58-second 100-meter dash. Two-legged robots can run even ...

The Raptor robot is quite impressive when running at full speed. Considering this project’s budget was nowhere near the resources of Boston Dynamics, it’s an amazing accomplishment.

Everyone remember that classic example of wasteful research wherein scientists intensively tested the physical properties and viscosity of ketchup? No? Well, we've got the insane paleontologist ...

The Korea Advanced Institute seem proud of creating a robot that can run at 46km/h and is based on a velociraptor. For some reason this illustration doesn’t set off any sort of alarm at all: ...
