This robot, nicknamed Cassie, broke a record for the fastest 100-meter dash by a bipedal robot, completing its race in 24.73 seconds. Cassie was designed by engineers at Oregon State University and its spinout company, Agility Robotics, with a $1M grant from DARPA. This is Cassie’s second major accomplishment: Last year, the robot completed a 5k race in 53 minutes, proving it could use machine learning to maintain its running gait even on uneven outdoor terrain. | NowThis
