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 mimic the way squirrels leap effortlessly between precarious branches and stick the landing on the very first attempt. Since 2016, Salto has played a big role in helping engineers at UCB figure out ways to enhance robotic mobility for specialized applications.
