Engineers at the University of Washington have developed a tiny jumping robot capable of precisely controlling how high each jump is. The miniature machine adds to a growing field of small-scale robotics, where fine control of locomotion is a key challenge. Coverage highlights the advance as a step toward agile micro-robots that could one day navigate cluttered or hard-to-reach environments.
