Georgia Tech develops 5-in. legless robot that can jump 10 feet

A Georgia Tech robot skips wheels, legs and compressed gas; it relies on geometry, elasticity and a carbon-fiber spine to vault 10 feet, the height of a basketball rim. By turning a “kink,” normally a structural failure, into an elastic spring that releases about10⁴ W kg⁻¹ of power, the team shows a compact way to… The post Georgia Tech develops 5-in. legless robot that can leap 10 feet appeared first on Research & Development World.

Georgia Tech’s 5-Inch Soft Robot Jumps 10 feet, Inspired by Parasitic Worms

A 5-inch legless robot developed by engineers at Georgia Institute of Technology can jump up to 3 metres, mimicking the spring-loaded motion of parasitic nematodes

Engineering a robot that can jump 10 feet high – without legs - Scientific Inquirer

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 spine, can leap 10 feet high even though it doesn’t have legs. The researchers made it after watching high-speed video of nematodes pinching themselves into odd shapes to fling themselves forward and backward. The researchers described the soft robo…
