Robot Cheetah DARPA Terminator

DARPA’s M3 Robotic Cheetah set a new land speed record for legged robots. The Robot Cheetah was able to gallop at 18 mph on a lab treadmill.

Testing of a free running cheetah robot prototype is planned for later in 2012. The cheetah robot was developed by Boston Dynamics.

The robot’s movements are patterned after those of the cheetah in nature, increasing its stride and running speed by flexing and un-flexing its back on each step.

DARPA video demonstration of M3 Cheetah Robot:

DARPA – Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, supplies technological options for the entire Department of Defense and is designed to be the technological engine for transforming DoD.

Ground robots have already saved many lives and preventeds thousands of injuries in military explosive disposal missions.

Robots may more effectively assist soldiers across a greater range of missions.

DARPA’s M3 – Maximum Mobility and Manipulation program seeks to create and demonstrate significant scientific and engineering advances in robot mobility and manipulation capability.

Maximum Mobility and Manipulation or Terminator? Unleash the hounds.

Mexican Drug Lord Nacho Coronel Sinaloa Cartel Killed in Mexico

Mexico’s defense department is confirming that Ignacio ” Nacho ” Coronel Villareal, a capo in the Sinaloa drug cartel, was killed during a military raid in a suburb of Guadalajara, Mexico.

Coronel refused to be arrested and died in a gunfight with a unit of the Mexican army. One soldier was shot to death by ” Nacho ” before he, himself was killed.

Coronel was on the FBI’s most wanted list for cocaine and methamphetamine, charged with conspiracy to possess a controlled substance with intent to distribute and conspiracy to import a controlled substance.

There was a $5 Million USD reward by the US State Department and the FBI for information leading to Nacho Coronel’s capture.

More than 23,000 people have been murdered in Mexico since President Felipe Calderon declared war on Mexican drug cartels in December 2006.

Ciudad Juarez has become the world’s most dangerous city. A killing ground of unimaginable proportion, with over 5200 murders so far in 2010.

90% of the cocaine now enters the US from Mexico. 90% of weapons enter Mexico from the USA.

 The drug trade betwen Mexico and the United States is an estimated $60 Billion USD business.
