Groundbreaking Robot Inspired by Chinese Rice Grasshopper Revolutionizes Robotics

In a pioneering study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team including Professor Stanislav N. Gorb from the Institute of Zoology at Kiel University and researchers from China present a new robot inspired by the Chinese rice grasshopper, Oxya chinensis. Using this robotics innovation, it is going to be able to perform aquatic acrobatics like swimming and jumping on water bodies—a feat mimicking the natural abilit…
