MIT Mini Cheetah Robot doing back flips

 

Somewhere between a cute circus animal and creepy Black Mirror dog killer robot lands this new MIT Mini Cheetah robot.

Much like the prior exhibits shown off by Boston Dynamics like kicking or pushing their robots, the MIT mini cheetah can also overcome the same balance issues. Then it can top that off and do back flips. It is very nimble looking.

After watching the MIT mini Cheetah bots, watch the behind the scenes effects video on the crazy popular futuristic show Black Mirror, worth a binge.

If the work at MIT, Boston Dynamics, and DARPA keeps up it won’t be long before we do have Metalhead Black Mirroresq killer robots roaming the earth.
