Watch this tiny robot jump higher than a 10-story building
Engineers have created a tiny robot weighing less than a tennis ball that can jump an astonishing 31 meters into the air. Using a clever spring-loaded design, the robot stores energy over time and ...
A 301 mg soft robot jumps continuously under constant light without batteries or electronics, using snap-through buckling and self-shadowing to create an autonomous feedback loop. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...
Engineers at Northwestern University have created a new kind of robot that can adapt, recover from damage, and keep moving even after being broken apart. The machines, called “legged metamachines,” ...
Researchers reveal the physics of jumping shell structures, improving control and agility in soft robots inspired by the mechanics of a simple popper toy. The team meticulously analyzed the jumping ...
Typical jumping behavior of a spherical shell obtained from simulation: it jumps from the inverted configuration back to its original shape. Inspired by a simple children's toy, a jumping popper toy, ...
