Man Meets Robotic Clone Of Himself
Man Meets Robotic Clone Of Himself

Robot Legs Finish 5K In Under An Hour On A Single Charge
This is a video of Cassie, a pair of robotic legs (and nothing else) developed by Agility Robotics, successfully running 5K in just over 53 minutes (running at around ~5.7km/h or 3.5MPH) and on a single battery charge. Not bad. For reference, the only way I’m finishing a 5K is
