Apollo mission astronauts who visited the moon between 1969 and 1972 found a hopping motion useful for navigating its surface, where the gravity is one-sixth of Earth’s. Today, robots are playing a ...
Most robots depend on controlled environments, because the real world is hard to get around in. The smaller the robot, the bigger this problem because little wheels (or legs) can take only little ...
People may not hop backward often, but a new study shows that having people hop backward on one leg can be a better way of measuring strength and recovery in the knee, as well as other joints and ...

Three engineers at Disney Research Pittsburgh have published a paper sexily titled “Untethered One-Legged Hopping in 3D Using Linear Elastic Actuator in Parallel (LEAP),” along with a demonstration of ...
A leaping robot could have application in search and rescue, construction, even forest monitoring. But how do you design a robot to stick a landing on a branch or pipe? Biologists worked with robot ...
