If you feel like you’re always hearing about a new sprinting robot, that’s because you are. This is the same robot that, just 5 months ago, set the record for robot sprinters. But now the robot isn’t just beating its fellow machines. It’s beating us.

Boston Dynamic’s Cheetah can now run faster than Usain Bolt. That’s right, the cheetah-bot clocked a cool 28.3 miles per hour over a 20 meter stretch. Bolt runs 27.7 miles per hour. Not even the fastest man in the world stands a chance. So when the robot overlords come for us, there will be no where to run.Okay, before you build your cheetah proof shelter, you could probably still out run the thing. The press release says, ““To be fair, keep in mind that the Cheetah robot runs on a treadmill without wind drag and has an off-board power supply that it does not carry.” And, as long as you don’t run in a straight line, you’re probably fine. But maybe think about investing in a robot hideaway, since the Cheetah’s manufacturers are planning on addressing those issues.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chPanW0QWhA#ws

Usain Bolt uses strength while robot does not. U can't compare them both.
