A headless robot dubbed "Cheetah" has set a new world speed record, according to its owners.
The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency said the four-legged machine
achieved 18mph (29km/h) on a laboratory treadmill.
The agency said the previous land speed record by a legged robot was 13.1mph.
Darpa said that the project was part of efforts to develop robots designed to "more effectively assist war fighters across a greater range of missions".
Darpa - which is run by the Pentagon - funded the Massachusetts robotics company Boston Dynamics to build the machine.
