Recent technological advances have opened new possibilities for the development of robotic systems, including spacecraft for the exploration of other planets. These new systems could ultimately ...

Earlier this year, we heard about some tiny robots that used a bio-inspired mechanism to jump high into the air. The makers of those devices have now tweaked the design, creating bots that jump very ...

You may not know what a springtail is but man, those little things can jump! Scientists have now copied the creatures' jumping mechanism in a small robot that could one day explore places that people ...

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 ...

The average human is unable to jump more than two or three feet (via The Exercisers). In the animal kingdom, we are vastly outnumbered by creatures with superb jumping abilities — and the robotics ...

Insect-scale robots can squeeze into places their larger counterparts can't, like deep into a collapsed building to search for survivors after an earthquake. However, as they move through the rubble, ...

A mechanical jumper developed by UC Santa Barbara engineering professor Elliot Hawkes and collaborators is capable of achieving the tallest height — roughly 100 feet (30 meters) — of any jumper to ...

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a robot that is only 5-inches long, weighs 23 grams, and can jump a massive 11 feet high and 4.5 feet horizontally. The robot is inspired by the ...

Springtails, small bugs often found crawling through leaf litter and garden soil, are expert jumpers. Inspired by these hopping hexapods, roboticists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of ...

Forget Olympics high jumpers; if you really want to see some impressive vertical leaping look no further than aquatic animals such as the whale, dolphin, and even the humble mobula rays — all of which ...
