Jumping, however, offers the best of both worlds. It requires relatively little power and, as such, could be done multiple times without depleting a robot's battery. But it is also terrain ...

Inspired by these hopping hexapods, roboticists have made a walking, jumping robot that pushes the boundaries of what small robots can do. The research glimpses a future where nimble microrobots ...

I love me a bio-inspired robot that pulls off challenging feats by taking cues from the natural world. University of California, Berkeley (UCB) researchers have now shown off the one-legged Salto bot ...

Inspired by squirrels, scientists built a robot that lands on narrow perches—advancing agile robotics for disasters and space ...

"They don't have to worry about letting go, they just bounce off." One-legged robots may sound impractical, given the ...

A hopping robot tries to match the agility of squirrels. Can it stick to the landings like nature's parkour experts? Read ...

Salto is a small, one-legged robot developed by a team of biologists and engineers at UC Berkeley. This robot mimics how ...
