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

Engineers have designed robots that crawl, swim, fly and even slither like a snake, but no robot can hold a candle to a ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Any person or group can delay any forest management project by simply coming up with new information on any endangered ...

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

In parallel, Full is now investigating the importance of the torque applied by the squirrel's foot upon landing. Unlike monkeys, squirrels do not have a usable thumb that allows a prehensile grasp ...

President Trump, his top campaign donor Elon Musk and alleged Connecticut resident U.S. Senator Dave McCormick (R-PA) were at ...
