WildCat robot can sprint unaided at 16mph
Boston Dynamics has unveiled WildCat, a quadruped robot that can freely bound, turn and gallop along flat terrain at speeds upwards of 16mph with no off-board power supply.
Based on the company's Cheetah robot - the fastest ever four-legged robot - WildCat has been developed for the military with funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
The video above shows WildCat's best performance so far. Boston Dynamics has yet to release an official statement about the new robot.
