To verify our hypothesis, we built robots inspired by centipedes. We discovered that the more legs we added, the better the robot could move across uneven surfaces without any additional sensing ...

First Robot Leg With ‘Artificial Muscles’ Can Jump, Researchers Say The technology could eventually lead to the creation of humanoid robots designed to assist with household tasks. Robots have been ...

Researchers at ETH Zürich are very good at keeping robots standing upright. Back in 2022, the school’s robotics team taught the quadrupedal ANYmal robot how to hike up mountains without falling ...

Hopping gives this tiny robot a leg up Engineers developed an insect-sized jumping robot that can traverse challenging terrains and carry heavy payloads Date: April 9, 2025 Source: Massachusetts ...

W1 is not the first quadruped robot to have wheels on its legs. In 2021, we saw the Swiss-Mile Robot, a similar concept developed by researchers from ETH Zurich and the University of Bologna.

The robot is making leaps toward the future of planetary exploration. A four-legged robot tested under simulated Martian gravity jumps from wall to wall in a new video, demonstrating how future ...

Robotics Air-powered robot uses physics instead of circuits to run on tube-legs By Ben Coxworth May 13, 2025 (From left) Alberto Comoretto, Mannus Schomaker and Bas Overvelde, with their ...

This robotic leg could give machines krill-like swimming abilities It's called the Pleobot, and it was inspired by krill—tiny ocean creatures that are adept swimmers.
