Cheetah Robot runs 28.3 mph (video)

Ron Czapala

A creation of robotic innovators Boston Dynamics, Cheetah is well named. Though it’s not quite as fast as the legendary big cat, it’s a darn sight faster than you. It can reach a sustainable speed of nearly 30 MPH -- a clear 1.5 MPH ahead of Usain Bolt at his absolute maximum -- and likely at least twice what normal people could maintain for any distance.
