DARPA’s Cheetah robot—already the fastest legged robot in history—just broke its own land speed record of 18 miles per hour (mph). In the process, Cheetah also surpassed another very fast mover: Usain Bolt. According to the International Association of Athletics Federations, Bolt set the world speed record for a human in 2009 when he reached a peak speed of 27.78 mph for a 20-meter split during the 100-meter sprint. Cheetah was recently clocked at 28.3 mph for a 20-meter split. The Cheetah had a slight advantage over Bolt as it ran on a treadmill, the equivalent of a 28.3 mph tail wind, but most of the power Cheetah used was to swing and lift its legs fast enough, not to propel itself forward. — with ApiNhellgod Hellgod.

- Programmable SPHERES approach each other aboard the International Space Station during the in-orbit final event of the Zero Robotics Autonomous Space Capture Challenge in June. Three finalist teams from the online competition developed algo...rithms to enable a satellite to approach and orient itself with a tumbling or spinning object in space. The algorithms were programmed into the SPHERES and flown aboard the ISS. The scenario was designed to support DARPA’s Phoenix program by simulating one of the key maneuver challenges that the Phoenix spacecraft will face in approaching a non-controlled, retired satellite. http://go.usa.gov/rnRASee More
