Robot Brief

Black Panther II is a high-performance quadruped robot developed by MirrorMe Technology with the primary objective of pushing the limits of robotic speed, agility, and biomechanical efficiency. Inspired by fast-running animals such as panthers and jerboas, the robot is engineered for ultra-high-speed locomotion using advanced joint design and lightweight materials. Unlike traditional quadrupeds focused on stability or payload, Black Panther II prioritizes dynamic motion and extreme velocity, achieving record-breaking sprint speeds that surpass previous robotic benchmarks. Physically, it is a compact, lightweight quadruped with spring-assisted legs and a biomimetic structure optimized for rapid acceleration and stride efficiency.

Intro

Black Panther II is a cutting-edge quadruped robot engineered for extreme speed and dynamic performance. Developed by MirrorMe Technology, the robot represents a shift from traditional quadruped designs that prioritize stability and payload toward systems optimized for velocity and biomechanical efficiency. Its structure incorporates lightweight materials such as carbon fiber and aluminum alloy, featuring a compact body approximately 0.63 meters tall and weighing around 38 kg, enabling rapid acceleration and reduced inertia.

A defining feature of Black Panther II is its spring-loaded knee joint system (Joint motion range: ABAD:-90° ~ 90°,HIP:-180° ~ 180°,KNEE:20° ~ 150°,SPRING:0 ~ 9cm), inspired by animal locomotion, which allows for energy storage and release during running cycles. This enables high stride frequency (up to ~5 strides per second) and efficient high-speed motion.

The robot has demonstrated exceptional performance, completing a 100-meter sprint in 13.17 seconds and reaching a peak speed of 9.7 m/s, with internal tests reportedly exceeding 10–13 m/s, making it one of the fastest quadruped robots ever recorded.

Connectivity

  • CAN FD Broadcast Communication Protocol: Enhances data transmission efficiency between joints and control system.

Capabilities

  • Ultra-High-Speed Running:
    Capable of sprinting at speeds exceeding 10.9 m/s, surpassing many existing quadruped robots.
  • Dynamic Stability Control:
    Maintains balance at extreme speeds using advanced control algorithms.
  • Spring-Assisted Locomotion:
    Uses elastic energy storage in joints for efficient running cycles.
  • High-Frequency Gait Execution:
    Achieves rapid stride rates (~5 Hz) for sustained high-speed motion.
  • Adaptive Terrain Traversal:
    Designed to maintain performance across flat and moderately uneven surfaces.
