Inspired by squirrels, scientists built a robot that lands on narrow perches—advancing agile robotics for disasters and space ...

Since becoming 2025 Maine Teacher of the Year, I have been widely sharing what I have learned about nature-based education. I ...

Engineers have long designed robots that crawl, swim, fly, and even slither like snakes. But no robot has ever matched the ...

I love me a bio-inspired robot that pulls off challenging feats by taking cues from the natural world. University of California, Berkeley (UCB) researchers have now shown off the one-legged Salto bot ...

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 ...

Researchers have created a strategy allowing a one-legged robot to achieve upright landings after branch-to-branch jumps.

UC Berkeley researchers modified a one-legged robot, called Salto, to jump from one branch-like perch to another using principles derived from studies of leaping squirrels.

This kind of dynamic stability is a trait that squirrels share with one of our favorite robots: Salto. Salto is a jumper too, ...

Salto the jumping robot can take a flying leap and land on a narrow pipe — just like a squirrel soaring from branch to branch.

A leaping robot could have application in search and rescue, construction, even forest monitoring. But how do you design a ...
