Robots still can't outrun the fastest animals because millions of years of evolution + tissue and bone make for more agility, flexibility, etc. 🤯 Fascinating stuff https://www.sciencealert.com/theres-a-surprising-reason-why-robots-cant-outrun-the-fastest-animals

@jake4480 I bet Boston Dynamics has best chance. of making something like a robot cheetah/grayhound. in our lifetimes. now imagine such a thing with guns or lasers mounted on it (ala Dr. Evil's sharks)

but it reminds me of that saying: if you and your friends are on a hike and encounter a bear, dont worry about outrunning the bear -- thats actually impossible in a 1-on-1 race with a bear because theyre MUCH faster than youd assume. instead, you only have to outrun your friends. just one of them

@synlogic 😂🤣 true. I mean it'll probably get there eventually. But it's interesting how our biology and evolution is so advanced. Us animals are all these soft, easily damaged creatures unlike metal but it's for a reason - that flexibility! So wild
