Robotic Jump Recharges Mid-Air
Researchers have developed a small soft robot that automatically adapts to the air and propels itself over 500 times in a row without the need for a battery or control system, using surface heating technology to store and release energy. It is about one centimeter in length, shaped like a ring made from soft plastic, and can jump vertically more than 80 times its own height. This advancement is considered a significant step in the development of soft robots, which could be used for exploring rugged environments and possibly in swarm robotics.
