Successfully created the tiny robot can jump 10 times the height of the body

Salto-1P is designed to simulate the jumping ability of many animals.

Generally speaking, the robots with the design have very slow legs, and have a lot of difficulty moving on uneven surfaces, but with Salto-1P robots, researchers at the University of California at Berkeley Berkeley Street is different. It was created to be able to jump ultra high and move super fast.

It was first created by researchers in December last year, but in the latest version, the robot was equipped with small pushrods that could move side by side. Salto also has a gyro-tailed "tail" that helps the robot tilt up and down to land accurately and ready for the next hop.

Saltp-1P is designed to adapt to the jumping ability of many animals, many of which jump far more than the height of the body. Most animals do this by lowering the body and putting energy into the ligament, then releasing it all at once. Salto also has the same mechanism, but it has a spring instead of ligaments.


The tiny robot has the ability to jump super high.

Finally, we have a tiny robot that only weighs 100 grams and is less than 15cm tall but can jump up to 125cm. It can be said that this tiny robot is a big step forward in simulating the supernatural ability of animals, in the future, hopefully the researchers will create more robots capable of higher and higher leaps. To provide more useful services such as rescue and resupply of areas where people are difficult to access.
