From Scientific American:
Boston Dynamics founder Marc Raibert calls his company's efforts to deliver a legged reconnaissance robot "basic research." After seeing the mechanized Cheetah in action (see video below), you can see that it is anything but basic. Even though tethered to a treadmill and in the early stages of development, the Cheetah can run nearly 30 kilometers per hour (kph). It may not be able to catch a real cheetah--which can run upward of 120 kph, faster than any other land animal--but Boston Dynamics does plan eventually to deliver a version that can move at a speed of about 80 kph.
