There are many people who firmly believe that when the human race is finally kicked off planet Earth, robots will probably have a hand (or claw?) in it! We have certainly seen the technology come a ...

We first saw UC Berkeley's remarkable jumping robot Salto in December 2016, but a new video released by the university's Biomimetic Millisystems Lab shows an equally remarkable new ability: precise ...

Meet Salto, a tiny and adorable bouncing robot developed at UC Berkeley. The bot weighs just 100 grams (3.5 ounces) and is about a foot long, and it can move through an environment by bouncing and ...

This cute, one-legged hopping robot out of UC Berkeley's Biomimetics lab has been capable of doing sweet parkour-style double-jumps off walls since 2016. By 2018, it was hopping continuously to ...

It's called "Salto-1P" and it's a "monopedal jumping robot capable of continuous high-power hopping". It's now playing hopscotch. Mark Serrels is an award-winning Senior Editorial Director focused on ...

Salto is a jumping robot that is all heart (and legs). A project originally launched in 2017 this tiny robot thrusts itself up and down and back and forth like a crazed grasshopper, jumping with ...
