Robots that can jump have been seen before, but a robot that jumps all the time is a little different. Salto-1P is a one-legged jumping robot at UC Berkeley, and back in 2017 it demonstrated the ...
The robot’s controller allows it to adapt smoothly to different surfaces, adjusting its movements without hesitation. For example, jumping on grass needs extra thrust because the blades of grass ...
Salto the robot is acting a little squirrelly. The jumping bot can take a flying leap and land on a narrow pipe ­­­â€” just like a squirrel soaring from branch to branch. It’s the first time ...
Berkeley researchers designed this robot to jump like a squirrel So how do you make a robot land on a branch with one foot? It starts with extensive research on how squirrels jump. Some members of ...
This new robot solves these challenges by using a snap-through mechanism, similar to how a toy jumping popper suddenly flips inside out or how a Venus flytrap quickly closes around its prey.
Researchers at Seoul National University, in collaboration with researchers from UC Berkeley, have constructed a tiny jumping roach robot. The mechanism, JumpRoACH, only weighs a few ounces ...
The average human can't jump more than two or three feet, an absolutely minuscule number compared to the small robot that holds the vertical jump record. This highest-jumping robot can take 10 ...
Engineers at The University of Manchester have unlocked the secrets to designing a robot capable of jumping 120 metres – higher than any other jumping robot designed to date. Using a combination of ...
Scientists at MIT's Biometrics Robotics Lab have now trained their robotic Cheetah to see and jump over hurdles as it runs, making this the first four-legged robot to run and jump over obstacles ...
