The design for the robot was determined through ‘a combination of mathematics, computer simulations, and laboratory experiments,’ the scientists said. . | Credit: The University of Manchester.
Harvard researchers have developed a small, agile robot capable of walking and jumping, inspired by hopping hexapods like ...
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 ...
A hopping, insect-sized robot can jump over gaps or obstacles, traverse rough, slippery, or slanted surfaces, and perform aerial acrobatic maneuvers, while using a fraction of the energy required for ...
