Springtails, small bugs often found crawling through leaf litter and garden soil, are expert jumpers. Inspired by these ...

Roboticists at UC Berkeley have designed a small robot that can leap into the air and then spring off a wall, or perform multiple vertical jumps in a row, resulting in the highest robotic vertical ...

Insect-scale robots can squeeze into places their larger counterparts can't, like deep into a collapsed building to search for survivors after an earthquake. However, as they move through the rubble, ...

Traditionally, robots are either airborne or landlubbers – there's not much crossover. But researchers at Northeastern University have now built a robot that can do both, walking around on two legs ...

A team of engineers at the University of Manchester has developed a concept for a robot that can jump up to 120 m high. The researchers used a combination of mathematics, computer simulation and ...

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 ...

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 ...

The average human is unable to jump more than two or three feet (via The Exercisers). In the animal kingdom, we are vastly outnumbered by creatures with superb jumping abilities — and the robotics ...

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 ...

Researchers are looking to the natural world for inspiration that will one day help them design life-saving robots. Salto is a monopedal and somewhat skeletal 10.2-inch-tall robot that can jump higher ...
