Scientists at the University of Michigan have built a robot called MABEL. MABEL is able to run at a speed of 6.8mph. This is a world record for a machine with two legs.
It took the researchers three years to get MABEL up and run to her top speed.There are still some problems, but she is thought of a huge step forward for robot﹣kind.
The makers of the robot say that science and technology can help people. Jonathan Hurst is a scientist from Oregon State University. He says scientists have done research into what MABEL can do in the future. They think that walking robots can help people who have something wrong with their legs walk again, or help people do things like a superman.
Professor Jessy Crizzle, from the University of Michigan, also points that how useful human﹣like robots can be." If you would like to send robots to search for people when a house is on fire, they can go up and down stairs, step over the baby's toys on the floor and go in places where wheels and tracks can not go."

When you're going to a new school or going to a party,meeting people and making friends can be challenging. However, it doesn't have to be so hard. Try a few of these simple suggestions, and you'll be on your way quickly.
1. Listen and Ask Questions
Other people like to know they're heard and that their ideas are valued. By being a good listener, you let others know that you value what they have to say and who they are.
You can let others know you're paying attention by looking at their eyes from time to time while they're speaking, then asking a question or two about what they're saying. If the conversation goes well, ask the person for his or her phone number or email, then make plans to hang out.
2.Give a Compliment
If you notice something you like about someone, give a compliment. Sharing it with him or her is a great way to start a conversation.
When giving a compliment, be honest and true. Even if you compliment something very small﹣like the color of the person's shoes, he or she will be very glad to hear it. You might even receive a compliment in return.
3.Keep Yourself from Technology
You may not notice who's interested in you if you keep checking your email and text messages. Put away your phone from time to time and take a look around. Who seems funny or interesting? Which people in the room have you never talked to? Who pays attention to your ideas? Remember these people and spend a little time getting to know these people face﹣to﹣face.
4.Join a Club or Team
Having an interest in common with another person gives both of you something to talk about. Clubs, teams and other groups also work toward common goals, which teaches you how to solve problems and helps you make friends with others.
