Jumping Robot.

Posted by Alex in Everything Else on September 14, 2006 at 2:49 am


Toyota (yes, the carmaker) has developed a robot that can jump just like a human:

The one-meter (3.3-foot) leg has a joint on its toe letting it jump as high as four centimeters (1.6 inches) by bending and stretching its toe and another knee-like joint, Japan’s top automaker said Wednesday.

"This is a basic technology that can be applied to a two-legged robot in future," said a Toyota Motor Corp. spokeswoman.
