Raptor (robot)

Raptor (Korean: 랩터) is a bipedal robot which was designed and conceived in 2014 by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST).

It has a top speed of 46 km/h, making it the second fastest robot after the Cheetah, and the fastest bipedal robot worldwide.

Designers at the KAIST took their inspiration from the Velociraptor, a bipedal dinosaur which balances itself with its tail.

The robot moves itself with a pair of carbon / epoxy composite blade legs.
