MIT scientists think a robot that moves like a cheetah could help rescue people in disaster zones. It’s blind, but scientists designed its flexible joints and agile limbs to be just as versatile as any creature found in nature.

“There are a range of situations where you don’t want to send a human, but you can send a robot,” the robot's designer, Sangbae Kim, associate professor of mechanical engineering at MIT, told Newsweek.
