Engineering a robot that can jump 10 feet high -- without legs
SMRTR summary
Georgia Tech engineers created a 5-inch soft robot modeled after nematode worms, capable of jumping 10 feet high without legs. The silicone rod with a carbon-fiber spine mimics nematodes' body contortion and energy storage for powerful leaps. This innovation could lead to robots able to jump across diverse terrains and heights in multiple directions, potentially aiding in space exploration and search and rescue missions.
