While jumping is less common among insect-scale robots, which usually fly or crawl, hopping affords many advantages for energy efficiency. When a robot hops, it transforms potential energy, which ...

A new insect-scale robot developed at MIT is reshaping how robotics can be used in challenging environments like disaster ...

The robot’s controller allows it to adapt smoothly to different surfaces, adjusting its movements without hesitation. For ...

Jumping is common in the insect world, however, it’s less common when it comes to insect-scale robotics. Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a tiny ...

MIT Engineers have built an insect-sized jumping robot that can cross tough terrain and carry heavy loads. MIT researchers developed a hopping robot that can leap over tall obstacles and jump across ...

A hopping, insect-sized robot can jump over gaps or obstacles, traverse rough, slippery, or slanted surfaces, and perform aerial acrobatic maneuvers, while using a fraction of the energy required ...
