Researchers in Korea have developed a robot that can mimic water striders, with the bioinspired long-legged bot leaping across water thanks to a very clever design. By looking at the technique water ...

A MIT robot modelled after the cheetah has become the first four-legged robot to autonomously jump over obstacles. While Cheetah has been able to jump over obstacles for some time, the bot is now able ...

Inspired by the movements of a tiny parasitic worm, Georgia Tech 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 ...

In a test of 60 jumps, the robot made a perfectly controlled landing 52 times, sat back on its "heel" five times, and fell ...

Recent advancements in robotics have increasingly drawn on biological principles to develop machines capable of dynamic, agile motion. One area of significant progress is the design of jumping robots ...

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 ...

You may not know what a springtail is but man, those little things can jump! Scientists have now copied the creatures' jumping mechanism in a small robot that could one day explore places that people ...
