flag UC Berkeley engineers unveil Salto, a squirrel-inspired robot that can leap and land precisely, ideal for challenging environments.

flag Engineers at UC Berkeley have created a squirrel-inspired robot called Salto that can leap and land precisely on narrow perches. flag This innovation, detailed in Science Robotics, could lead to more agile robots for navigating challenging environments like disaster sites or dense forests. flag The robot mimics squirrel biomechanics, adjusting its movements mid-air to land accurately. flag This technology could also be used for exploring environments with low gravity, such as Saturn's moon Enceladus.
