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 ...

Engineers have designed robots that crawl, swim, fly and even slither like a snake, but no robot can hold a candle to a ...

Boston Dynamics' Atlas robot has mastered breakdancing and gymnastics using motion capture and reinforcement learning in the ...

Salto the jumping robot can take a flying leap and land on a narrow pipe — just like a squirrel soaring from branch to branch.

Scientists have now copied the creatures' jumping mechanism in a small robot that could one day explore places that people can't go. Although they may look like insects, springtails are actually ...

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 ...

Engineers have long designed robots that crawl, swim, fly, and even slither like snakes. But no robot has ever matched the ...

A team of biologists and engineers at UC Berkeley wanted to figure out how squirrels do the jump and use the innate ‘braking ...

Squirrels move nimbly by leaping through the treetops. A robot from the University of California wants to do the same.

A tiny ant-like robot designed by the Massachusetts Institute ... this machine—the size of a guitar—will use three engines to “jump” across the surface. After a couple of practice hops ...

Justin Yim describes the success of a monopedal robot, Salto, in leaping from branch to branch thanks to principles of ...

Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have made a walking, jumping robot that pushes the boundaries of what small robots can do. Published in Science Robotics, the research ...
