DARPA's Cheetah robot is already the fastest legged robot in history and keeps beating its own records. It beat its previous record of 18 mph with a 28.3 mph sprint on the treadmill. This is faster than sprinter Usain Bolt's record 27.78 mph 20-meter split during his record 2009 100-meter sprint. In this video, the robot cheetah reaches 28.3 mph.
