DARPA Cheetah Sets Speed Record for Legged Robots

DARPA Cheetah Sets Speed Record for Legged Robots Video Clips. Duration : 0.97 Mins.

This video shows a demonstration of the "Cheetah" robot galloping at speeds of up to 18 miles per hour (mph), setting a new land speed record for legged robots. The previous record was 13.1 mph, set in 1989. The robot's movements are patterned after those of fast-running animals in nature. The robot increases its stride and running speed by flexing and un-flexing its back on each step, much as an actual cheetah does. The current version of the Cheetah robot runs on a laboratory treadmill where it is powered by an off-board hydraulic pump, and uses a boom-like device to keep it running in the center of the treadmill. Testing of a free-running prototype is planned for later this year. While the M3 program conducts basic research and is not focused on specific military missions, the technology it aims to develop could have a wide range of potential military applications. The DARPA M3 performer for Cheetah is Boston Dynamics of Waltham, Mass. Read more about DARPA's M3 program at www.darpa.mil

Cheetah Mounts APTMM2B Flush Tilt Dual Hook (1.3" from wall) Flat Screen TV Wall Mount Bracket for 32-65 inch Plasma, LED, and LCD TVs Up To VESA 700x400 and 165lbs, Including 10' Braided High Speed with Ethernet HDMI Cable and 3-Axis Magnetic Bubble Level Overview

This mount fits essentially all 32-65" TVs sold today including any TV with a hole pattern from 100x100 to 700x400mm. From the initial APTMM2B design in 1999 until today, this mount has seen continuous improvement to keep pace with the state-of-the-art 1080P 3D TVs available today. The initial design which extended 3.5" from the wall has been reduced to 1.3" while still achieving 15 degrees of tilt to improve your viewing angle and reduce glare. To help our environment, our latest design achieves the same 165lbs of holding capacity with less than 6lbs of steel, which we refer to as the Stronger (Dual Hook) with Less Metal GREEN Design. US homes typically have either 16" or 24" studs. The APTMM2B is 27" wide allowing for up to 3" of side-to side adjustment even on 24" studs. Because of this, you may be able to see the APTMM2B mount behind smaller TVs and you may instead want to consider the Cheetah APTMSB for smaller TVs. When wall mounting a TV, often the 6' cables that come with many component devices such as DVD players, will not quite reach. So we include a full 10' HDMI cable adhering to the latest 1.4 HDMI standard and capable of carrying a 1080P 3D signal including Ethernet and Audio Return. This mount also ships with a full set of hardware to both mount your TV to the wall (either wood stud or cement) and to your TV (including 4, 5, 6 and 8mm screw sets). Lastly, your mount ships with a bubble level on the mount and a separate 6" 3-axis magnetic bubble level and approximately 3mm of rotation adjustment on the studs screw slots to help ensure that you achieve a level and enjoyable display. We have done our best to ensure that you will enjoy your mount, but should you be dissatisfied with ANYTHING in your mount purchase, we welcome your feedback and the opportunity to assist you. Please never hesitate to contact us and let us show you what we mean by a true lifetime 100% guarantee.
