A locust-inspired miniature robot that can jump 11 feet high and 4.5 feet horizontally in one leap is designed to handle search-and-rescue and reconnaissance missions in rough terrain.
The new locust-inspired robot, dubbed “TAUB” (for “Tel Aviv University and Ort Braude College”), is five inches long and weighs weighs 23 grams (less than one ounce). It was developed by Tel Aviv University and Ort Braude College researchers.
