A leap that challenges the limits of robotics. Harvard scientists have developed HAMR, a microrobot weighing just 2.2 grams that can propel 23 times its own length in just 14 milliseconds, surpassing even nature's best jumpers. Inspired by springtails, its bio-inspired mechanism incorporates a wishbone-like structure, an appendage that stores and releases energy with extraordinary efficiency. Published in Science Robotics, this advancement could transform space exploration, rescue missions and mobility in extreme terrain, taking microrobotics to a new level.
