israeli researchers design locust-inspired robot
Researchers at Tel Aviv University, inspired by Locust jumping mechanisms and resilient energy storage, designed a micro-robot that could be an inspiring leap forward for the future of autonomous surveillance and emergency response systems.
It is made of carbon rods, steel springs and 3D printed plastic pieces that weigh less than an ounce (23 grams)
About 4 inch (10 centimeters)long.
\"The Locust is a large insect that has wonderful jumping performances that provide excellent inspiration for this particular jumping idea. . .
\"Miniature jumping robot,\" Professor Amir Ayali, chief developer of the Department of animals at Tel Aviv University\'s School of Life Sciences, told Reuters when inspecting locusts growing in the laboratory.
