How Robots Run (Video)

Mark Remy @ Runner's World posted this crazy video of a Japanese robot that can run 7km/hour. Check it out!



Note the slow motion capture...looks like this robot has a great barefoot running style. Pretty crazy.

  2. Cool... and totally supports my theories of efficient form. The robot is not heel striking.

    now, have you had other varieties?

    Other than "Morn Thang"?
