UCL Researchers Design Cheetah-Inspired Agile Robots
Amir Patel, Associate Professor of Robotics & AI at University College London, describes research (16 January 2026) designing robots that mimic cheetah agility. His lab applies sensor fusion, computer vision, mechanical modelling, and optimal control to quantify high-speed predator locomotion and translate findings into bio-inspired machines. The work informs faster, more manoeuvrable legged robots and builds on Patel's prior leadership at the African Robotics Unit.
