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

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

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 ...

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

The new design contributes “substantially” to the flight take-off speed, researchers said, and can be more energy efficient than robots that take off without a jump. The new leg design enabled ...

Each leg has pivot points at ... write-up impressed us the most. The robot was designed in Fusion 360 and the parts were 3D printed allowing for maximum design flexibility for the next hacker.

This concept led to the design of a combined active and passive leg scissor mechanism for telescopic movement. The passive mechanism of the pipeline robot allows the robot leg to quickly adjust ...
