Robots can walk, run, lie down, and act like humans, but none has attempted to jump massive heights before apart from small leaps. Now, there is a team that developed the "mechanical jumper," and it ...

The design for the robot was determined through ‘a combination of mathematics, computer simulations, and laboratory experiments,’ the scientists said. . | Credit: The University of Manchester.

The new record-breaking jumping robot can jump up to 32.9 meters (roughly 107 feet) into the air. A team of researchers created the robot while investigating the difference between biological and ...

A new jumping device could help humans spring across other planets while exploring. Researchers say they have created a device that can out-jump any animal or mechanical machine either on Earth or in ...

A mechanical jumper developed by UC Santa Barbara engineering professor Elliot Hawkes and collaborators is capable of achieving the tallest height — roughly 100 feet (30 meters) — of any jumper to ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA — Insect-scale robots can squeeze into places their larger counterparts can’t, like deep into a collapsed building to search for survivors after an earthquake. However, as they move ...
