Recent advancements in robotics have increasingly drawn on biological principles to develop machines capable of dynamic, agile motion. One area of significant progress is the design of jumping robots ...
Discover the innovative high-jumping robot created by scientists at the Hawkes Lab, University of California, Santa Barbara.
Inspired by the movements of a small parasitic worm, Georgia Tech engineers have created a 5-inch soft robot that can jump as high as a basketball hoop.
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) ...
Over the next decades, robots are expected to make their way into a growing number of households, public spaces, and ...
This spinning-mass principle drives several robots in development. One is a remote-controlled wheel that jumps when the internal mass rotates fast enough to lift it off the ground. Unlike spring-based ...
Inspired by the movements of a tiny parasitic worm, Georgia Tech engineers have created a 5-inch soft robot that can jump as high as a basketball hoop. Their device, a silicone rod with a carbon-fiber ...
