- 1University of Washington team builds jumping robot with controlled leap height●Tiny robot developed at the UW can precisely control its jump height
Engineers at the University of Washington have developed a tiny robot capable of precisely controlling how high it jumps. The advance could matter for applications requiring navigation over uneven terrain, such as search-and-rescue, environmental monitoring or inspection in confined spaces. Robotics researchers and technology observers are taking note of the precise jump-height control, a difficult capability to engineer at small scale.
