"Researchers at the Biorob lab at Switzerland's École Polytechnique
Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), have announced a cat-like robot that is
claimed to be the fastest quadruped robot under 30 kilograms. The Cheetah-cub Robot, which runs real-time Xenomai Linux on an x86-based board
mimics the biomechanics of a cat to increase the speed and stability of
it quadroped legs, helping it achieve speeds of 1.42m/s. The goal of
the still-early-stage project is to encourage research in biomechanics,
with an aim toward building faster robots for search and rescue, or
ground exploration. More info is available on EPFL's Cheetah page."
America’s struggle to outsmart its enemies has been rigorously discussed
since 9/11. Where the story becomes turgid—where we stop paying
attention—is on the crucial question of how that
intelligence, once gathered, is organized and made available in a way
that will allow it to actually be put to use. How the Army actually does business.
