The palm-sized spring-loaded jumping robot has gone from barely being able to chain together a few open-loop jumps to ...

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

Scientists have now copied the creatures' jumping mechanism in a small robot that could one day explore places that people can't go. Although they may look like insects, springtails are actually ...

Inspired by these hopping hexapods, roboticists have made a walking, jumping robot that pushes the boundaries of what small robots can do. The research glimpses a future where nimble microrobots ...

A tiny ant-like robot designed by the Massachusetts Institute ... this machine—the size of a guitar—will use three engines to “jump” across the surface. After a couple of practice hops ...

Researchers at the Harvard John A Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have now created a robot that mimics this jumping ability. They modified a cockroach-inspired robot to include a ...

A robotics firm in China claims a robot has performed the world's first humanoid robot front flip, which is significantly more difficult than a backflip.

National People’s Congress, a miniature robotic dog named Sparky captured attention with its compact design, fluid motion, ...
