We present the design of a robotic leg that can seamlessly switch between a spring-suspended-, and unsuspended configuration. Switching is realized by a lightweight mechanism that exploits the ...

Many organisms can transition smoothly from one mode of locomotion to another, often by using the same body parts. For example, flying fish use their fins to steer underwater, and these same ...

Scientists have developed HydroSpread, a novel technique for building soft robots on water, with wide-ranging possibilities in robotics, healthcare, and environmental monitoring. Picture a miniature ...
