A Chinese robotics company just disclosed that it has developed a mechanical puppy that can run 100 feet in less than 10 seconds.
Collin Rugg, co-owner of Trending Politics, shared a video on X, previously Twitter, that shows the new mechanical dog in motion and explains how the Chinese mechanical firm used new systems to overcome the challenges of increasing the creature’s speed and efficiency.
A machine dog with spring joints that mimic life species was created for” The Black Panther 2.0″ by Mirror Me,” Rugg tweeted. The machine was developed in three times and may run more quickly than most people.
According to Interesting Engineering, the Black Panther 2.0 machine was created as part of a collaboration between Mirror Me, a Taiwanese mechanical firm, and Zhejiang University’s human development university.
Highlighting the success of the Black Panther 2.0 machine in for a short period of time, Wang Hongtao, a teacher at Zhejiang University, said,” Through the integration of technology and parts, we created a design within a simple three month”.

Xinhua, a Chinese news agency, reported that the Black Panther 2.0 mechanical puppy weighs 83 kilos and is just over 2 feet tall.
According to the videos shared on social media, the development of the Black Panther 2.0 was not just about “breaking information” but about “redefining what’s possible”. The Chinese mechanical company used technology that allows the robotic arms to transfer power between them to “act as a unified power” to reduce the amount of energy needed for the machine to flower 100 feet in less than 10 hours.
The video also demonstrates how the creators of the new robot crafted its features using elements from natural resources like kangaroo rats and black panthers.
Xinhua reported that while the new robotic dog is still not as fast as wildebeests, ostriches, and cheetahs, the Black Panther 2.0 is capable of sprinting faster than most humans. According to the outlet, researchers hope to eventually create a robot that can outsmart any animal.
