If you say “jump” I say “how high?” – and a new robot from UC Santa Barbara says “over 100 ft (30 m).” The research team says that’s higher than anything else has ever jumped, be it robot or animal, ...

If a robot is going to be tiny, then it better have a way of getting around the many obstacles that will block its way. A new type of robot takes a unique approach to doing so, by jumping like a click ...

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 ...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a tiny, proof of concept robot that moves its four limbs by rapidly igniting a combination of methane and oxygen inside flexible joints. The device can ...

Researchers and engineers from the University of California, Berkeley, developed a robot named Salto, inspired by squirrels, that can jump from branch to branch and land on narrow perches while ...

Harvard researchers have developed a small, agile robot capable of walking and jumping, inspired by hopping hexapods like springtails. The innovation showcases microrobots that can navigate tight ...

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 ...

Engineers say they have created a design for a robot capable of jumping 400 feet into the air — and it could one day be heading for space. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

A robot that can jump over 100 times its own height could leap over challenging terrain on the moon and explore the rocky surface more quickly than a wheeled rover, say researchers. Elliot Hawkes at ...
