Inspired by animals, this “musculoskeletal” robotic leg moves using artificial extensor and flexor muscles. The leg is driven by electro-hydraulic actuators that are attached to the robotic ...

Inspired by the movements of a tiny parasitic worm, Georgia Tech engineers have created a 5-inch soft robot that can jump as ...

“The third pair of legs is longer ... “Robotics researchers are likely to be inspired to build robots based on the semi-hydraulic systems of jumping spiders that have efficient goal-directed ...

Harvard’s tiny flying robot, known as the RoboBee, has just gotten a major upgrade that makes landing much safer and smoother. Inspired by the long legs of crane flies, engineers have given the robot ...

Robot arms and grippers do important ... The researchers realised that they could tap into this hydraulic system to extend and contract the spider’s legs at will. With a dead spider, all the ...

Inspired by the movements of a tiny parasitic worm, engineers have created a 5-inch soft robot that can jump as high as a basketball hoop. Their device, a silicone rod with a carbon-fiber spine, can ...
