Think of a robot leaping through a forest, navigating branches just like a squirrel. Researchers from the University of ...

Engineers have designed robots that crawl, swim, fly and even slither like a snake, but no robot can hold a candle to a ...

A leaping robot could have application in search and rescue, construction, even forest monitoring. But how do you design a robot to stick a landing on a branch or pipe? Biologists worked with robot ...

I love me a bio-inspired robot that pulls off challenging feats by taking cues from the natural world. University of California, Berkeley (UCB) researchers have now shown off the one-legged Salto bot ...

Engineers have long designed robots that crawl, swim, fly, and even slither like snakes. But no robot has ever matched the ...

Squirrels move nimbly by leaping through the treetops. A robot from the University of California wants to do the same.

A team of biologists and engineers at UC Berkeley wanted to figure out how squirrels do the jump and use the innate ‘braking ...

Salto the jumping robot can take a flying leap and land on a narrow pipe — just like a squirrel soaring from branch to branch.

Squirrels could do that ... "If you're going to undershoot, what you can do is generate less leg-breaking force; your leg will collapse some, and then your inertia is going to be less, and ...
