Walking, jumping, running robots like Big Dog and Atlas are equal parts amazing and terrifying. And look how they’ve grown: MIT’s Cheetah bot, once a tethered machine on a treadmill, can now bound across an open field unchained. A few makers of the sophisticated moving robots that are starting to pop up in public more and more are going to be sharing their wisdom with the masses. MIT’s online course on moving robots is open for business. “Algorithms for Walking, Running, Swimming, Flying, and Manipulation,” a 10-week course, is led by researchers at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratories and hosted at EdX, the MOOC platform that MIT is a member of.
