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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Kawasaki recently revealed a computer-generated concept for the Corleo, a “robotic horse.” A video shows the automated equine galloping through valleys, crossing rivers, climbing mountains, 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.
