An insect-scale robot that jumps using only light has completed 188 continuous leaps without ...

Salto has been one of our favorite robots since we were first introduced to it in 2016 as a project out of Ron Fearing’s lab ...

To create a robot that could jump high and land stably, the researchers recognized that they needed to strike a balance between both goals. They represented both jumping height and landing success ...

Humanoid robots, robotic systems with a human-like body structure, have the potential of tackling various real-world tasks ...

Springtails, small bugs often found crawling through leaf litter and garden soil, are expert jumpers. Inspired by these hopping hexapods, roboticists have made a walking, jumping robot that pushes the ...

Inspired by the movements of a small parasitic worm, Georgia Tech engineers have created a 5-inch soft robot that can jump as high as a basketball hoop.

Typical jumping behavior of a spherical shell obtained from simulation: it jumps from the inverted configuration back to its original shape. Inspired by a simple children's toy, a jumping popper toy, ...

Inspired by the movements of a tiny parasitic worm, engineers have created a 5-inch soft robot that can jump as high as a basketball hoop. Their device, a silicone rod with a carbon-fiber spine, can ...

Springtails, small bugs often found crawling through leaf litter and garden soil, are expert jumpers. Inspired by these hopping hexapods, roboticists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of ...
