We are going to die

Old news, but has me wondering.

Professor Sangbae Kim designer of the Stickybot and a  Robotic designer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Is trying to understand how he can replicate  natural animal  mechanisms by creating a robot inspired by the cheetah.

The idea is to build a prototype robot from a construction of  lightweight carbon-fiber-foam that will then be able to match  the cheetah’s speed of 70 miles per hour.

DARPA’s Cheetah robot—already the fastest legged robot in history—just broke its own land speed record of 18 miles per hour (mph). In the process, Cheetah also surpassed another very fast mover: Usain Bolt.

And don’t forget a movie said so too.
