A robot called Cheetah has set a new
world speed record for legged robots,
running faster than the fastest human. The headless machine, funded by the
Pentagon, reached 28.3mph (45.5km/
h) when tested on a treadmill. Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt’s top
speed is 27.78mph (44.7km/h). The project is part of efforts to develop
robots for military use. One robotics
expert told the BBC that it was
“unfortunate” the Cheetah was made
primarily “to kill people”. It has been created by the
Massachusetts robotics company
Boston Dynamics and backed by the
US Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (Darpa). According to Darpa, the aim is to
“more effectively assist war fighters
across a greater range of missions”. The Cheetah, which is powered by a
hydraulic pump, broke its own record
of 18mph (29km/h), recorded in
February. “The Cheetah had a slight advantage
over Bolt as it ran on a treadmill,”
Darpa said in a statement, “but most of
the power Cheetah used was to swing
and lift its legs fast enough, not to
propel itself forward.” The agency plans to test the robot in
the field in 2013. USES “It’s going to be used for chasing
people across the desert, I would
imagine. I can’t think of many civilian
applications – maybe for hunting, or
farming, for rounding up sheep. “But of course if it’s used for combat, it
would be killing civilians as well as it’s
not going to be able to discriminate
between civilians and soldiers.”
