Image of the device jumping, with lines added over the position of the jumper every approximately 656 feet per second. Human is 6 feet tall. (Hawkes et al/Science) (CN) — Once, robots could only jump ...

Engineers say they have created a design for a robot capable of jumping 400 feet into the air — and it could one day be heading for space. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

The new record-breaking jumping robot can jump up to 32.9 meters (roughly 107 feet) into the air. A team of researchers created the robot while investigating the difference between biological and ...

If you say “jump” I say “how high?” – and a new robot from UC Santa Barbara says “over 100 ft (30 m).” The research team says that’s higher than anything else has ever jumped, be it robot or animal, ...

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 ...

The Netflix series Black Mirror predicted robot dogs, but it overlooked the possibility of another athletic, probably more benign tech critter. A new machine with jumping capabilities from the ...

A robot that can jump over 100 times its own height could leap over challenging terrain on the moon and explore the rocky surface more quickly than a wheeled rover, say researchers. Elliot Hawkes at ...

Chinese researchers have created an AI-powered robot dog capable of leaping across the rugged, low-gravity surfaces of asteroids. Inspired by a cat's ability to twist and land on its paws, researchers ...

Earlier this year, we heard about some tiny robots that used a bio-inspired mechanism to jump high into the air. The makers of those devices have now tweaked the design, creating bots that jump very ...

In the summer of 2021, atop the coastal cliffs of Santa Barbara, California, Chris Keeley, then an undergraduate at the nearby university, crouched to pull a bundle of metal and rubber out of his ...
