Scientists are using GenAI models to improve robotic designs and their motions. MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) applied generative AI to create working robots.
Engineers have created a tiny robot weighing less than a tennis ball that can jump an astonishing 31 meters into the air. Using a clever spring-loaded design, the robot stores energy over time and ...
A 301 mg soft robot jumps continuously under constant light without batteries or electronics, using snap-through buckling and self-shadowing to create an autonomous feedback loop. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...
Researchers reveal the physics of jumping shell structures, improving control and agility in soft robots inspired by the mechanics of a simple popper toy. The team meticulously analyzed the jumping ...
