Learning from Jumping Spiders
Robotic Innovation
This research is being conducted at the University of Manchester UK. The research team taught a regal jumping spider named Kim to do some fancy jumping. The spider jumped across various distances while the team videotaped the leaps. Their purpose is to teach robots to do the same strong jumps and leaps as the regal jumping spider can do.
Physics of Jumping
The purpose of the research is to duplicate the physics of jumping spiders in a flying or jumping robot to overcome the many biomechanical constraints that keep most robots on the ground. It's a delicate balancing act keeping a robot light but also giving it enough power to make big distance leaps. The research could lead to a new generation of microrobots and other robots.
