Robot dog sprints into history books by breaking speed records

Mirror Me's Black Panther ran about 100 meters in under 10 seconds. A Chinese team has unveiled a groundbreaking quadruped robot that is pushing the boundaries of robotics and speed. The Black Panther 2.0, developed by Zhejiang University's humanoid innovation institute in collaboration with the Hangzhou-based startup Mirror Me, has achieved a remarkable feat by running approximately 100 meters in under 10 seconds. The design of the Black Panther 2.0 draws inspiration from various animals, resulting in a highly efficient biomechanical structure. Its carbon-fiber shins are modeled after jerboa desert rodents, increasing stiffness by an impressive 135% while only adding 16% to its weight.
