Why is it that cheetahs can run so fast? How can humans get to be that fast? Cheetah biologist Adrienne Crosier and orthopedic surgeon Dr. Chris Raynor explain why cheetahs are so quick and why humans and limited comparatively. Adrienne Crosier is a biologist and manager of the cheetah reproductive and research program at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute. SCBI plays a leading role in the Smithsonian’s global efforts to save wildlife species from extinction and train future generations of conservationists. https://nationalzoo.si.edu/conservation You can find Dr. Chris Raynor on his YouTube Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJNgMVaiBmD2W701dALL9Iw Cheetah x-rays courtesy of Cheetah.org: https://cheetah.org/ Cheetah anatomy illustrations courtesy of Jun Huang and Jun's Anatomy: https://www.junsanatomy.com/ Human/cheetah concept illustrations by Max Wittert IG: @maxwittert | Twitter: @waxmittert Additional images from Getty and Alamy The Oldschool PC Font sourced from VileR at https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/

Inspired by the biomechanics of cheetahs, researchers have developed a new type of soft robot that is capable of moving more quickly on solid surfaces or in the water than previous generations of soft robots. The new soft robotics are also capable of grabbing objects delicately -- or with sufficient strength to lift heavy objects.

Robots today generally come in one of two varieties: rigid and soft. When most people imagine a robot, they think of the rigid variety, like Boston Dynamics’ Spot or those found on auto assembly lines. Soft robots, on the other hand, tend to mimic bi...
