SALTO - Berkeley's Leaping Robot

Robotics at UC Berkeley have designed a small robot that can leap
into the air and then spring off a wall, or perform multiple
vertical jumps in a row, resulting in the highest robotic vertical
jumping agility ever recorded. The agility of the robot opens new
pathways of locomotion that were not previously attainable. The
researchers hope that one day this robot and other vertically agile
robots can be used to jump around rubble in search and rescue
missions. Series: "UC Berkeley News" [Science] [Show ID: 31982]
