Boston Dynamics shows WildCat, a four-legged robot built with DARPA funding that reached about 19 mph using bounding and galloping gaits.
Used as a reference point when comparing other legged robots, such as the MIT Cheetah, on gait and speed.

Is this where Boston Robotics comes in? For heavy load, they have wild cat[wildcat] and for lighter loads, they have spot [spot]. For Ussain Bolt, there is the cheetah [cheetah] that can keep up with the pace peaking at over 29 miles per hour. All these are at various stages in development and as far as I understand not ready for production. spot ▶ this video wildcat ▶ this video cheetah link
I noticed the opposite in this one: ▶ this video Which is to say, it looks more natural and more balanced with the legs out of sync.
The bounding part is very cool (I caught myself leaning forward in surprise [and mild horror?] as the machine jumped over the box instead of maneuvering around it). Besides not requiring fuel, does anyone know how this is different/better/unique than Google/BostonDynamic's WildCage? ( ▶ this video ) I certainly agree that more people working on this is a good thing, but I'd like to understand the progress being made.
If I plug in a YouTube link will it also tally all of the YouTube link variations for that video? For example, if I put in ▶ this video , will it also include the shortened ▶ this video in the tally?
