The Cheetah Robot is Created by Boston Dynamics and funded by DARPA(Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency),becomes the fastest legged robot on the planet.
It will reach 18 miles (29 kilometers) per hour.The previous record was 13.1 mph, set in 1989.
The Cheetah robot has a flexible spine and is able to increase its running speed by flexing and un-flexing its back on each step. Researchers say the current version of the robot is powered by a hydraulic pump and is attached to an extending device, which keeps it centered on the treadmill.
This kind of machine could also be useful in emergency rescue and civilian disasters, the company says.
