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 ...

A team of engineers from the University of Illinois has published the first known study documenting the long-jumping motion of 3D-printed insect-scale robots. “To my knowledge, this is the first time ...

Micro-jumping robots offer unique advantages in scenarios such as confined space exploration and post-disaster search and rescue. However, traditional designs have consistently faced two major ...
