  • Description: NewScientist.com reports: www.newscientisttech.com "A two-legged robot that walks at record-breaking speed has been developed by researchers from Germany and Scotland. "RunBot" is the fastest robot on two legs -- for its size. At 30 centimetres high, it can walk at a speedy 3.5 leg-lengths per second. This beats the previous record holder -- MIT's "Spring Flamingo" -- which is four times as tall but manages just 1.4 leg-lengths per second. The robot is controlled by a simple program that ...
