An insect-scale robot that jumps using only light has completed 188 continuous leaps without ...

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 ...

A robot powered only by light completed 188 continuous jumps without electronics, carrying 1,700 times its weight using material response alone.

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.

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 ...

Advances in motor design have allowed different types of robots to both specialize for industrial functions and converge in precision.

According to its developers, the soft robot automatically bends, snaps and resets itself without a single electronic component, completing 188 continuous leaps in the lab.
