A hopping, insect-sized robot can jump over gaps or obstacles, traverse rough, slippery, or slanted surfaces, and perform aerial acrobatic maneuvers, while using a fraction of the energy required for ...

Robot uses springy leg . Typically, insect-scale robots fly or crawl, but hopping offers energy efficiency. The MIT robot ...

The robot’s controller allows it to adapt smoothly to different surfaces, adjusting its movements without hesitation. For example, jumping on grass needs extra thrust because the blades of grass ...
