Locomotion makes things move, and certain forms of locomotion make them move better than others. Those more effective types of locomotion change depending on the environment, which is even more true ...
Inspired by the movements of a tiny parasitic worm, Georgia Tech 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 ...
Many organisms can transition smoothly from one mode of locomotion to another, often by using the same body parts. For example, flying fish use their fins to steer underwater, and these same ...
Springtails, small bugs often found crawling through leaf litter and garden soil, are expert jumpers. Inspired by these hopping hexapods, roboticists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of ...
Daniel Zhou Hao receives funding from UK Space Agency, European Space Agency, and Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) UK. But it’s the ability to incorporate artificial ...
