Inspired by squirrels, scientists built a robot that lands on narrow perches—advancing agile robotics for disasters and space ...

A hopping robot tries to match the agility of squirrels. Can it stick to the landings like nature's parkour experts? Read ...

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

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 human body wasn't made to fly, but Sebastián Álvarez did it anyway. The Chilean pilot jumped from a plane into a jet ...

Salto is a small, one-legged robot developed by a team of biologists and engineers at UC Berkeley. This robot mimics how ...
