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 ...

Salto has been one of our favorite robots since we were first introduced to it in 2016 as a project out of Ron Fearing’s lab ...

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 ...

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

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

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

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

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 ...

Researchers at the Harvard John A Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have now created a robot that mimics this jumping ability. They modified a cockroach-inspired robot to include a ...

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 ...

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 ...
