Robo-hop! Incredible robot can jump 100 TIMES its own height - and could be used on the MOON
An incredible jumping robot has been unveiled that can leap to more than 100 times its own height. Despite being just 11.8 inches (30cm) tall and weighing one ounce (30g), the robot is capable of jumping 108 feet. Researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara, who developed the robot, believe it could one day be used on the moon. Despite being just 11.8 inches (30cm) tall and weighing one ounce (30g), the robot is capable of jumping 108 feet The robot measures just 11.8 inches (30cm) tall and weighs one ounce (30g). It features a rotary motor to multiply the work, alongside specially selected springs and rubber bands that allow the system to store energy.

Five future car technologies you should know
The cars that we see now are feature-loaded and come with the latest technology. Cars that were seen in science fiction movies back a decade ago are now present in real life. In this article, we will discuss five such technologies that you should know and could be seen in a car in near future. With cars like Mahindra XUV700 getting ADAS level 1 and MG Astor getting ADAS Level 2. It is not too farfetched to expect cars that will be autonomous. ADAS Level 4, at this level the vehicle's autonomous driving system is completely capable of monitoring and performing driving functions for the vehicle's usual route.

Researchers unveil robot that moves like a cheetah
Researchers have pulled inspiration from nature to create an energy efficient robot. Using the same movements as a cheetah, the team has mimicked the animal's ability to store energy in its muscles by fitting the robot's legs with springs - and it only uses 15 percent more energy than the real thing. Its creators have suggested that this project will lead to more elegant and energy conscious machines, and could be used in creating rehabilitation robots or advanced prosthetics. Using the same movements as a cheetah, the team has mimicked the animal's ability to store energy in its muscles by fitting the robot's legs with springs - and it only uses 15 percent more energy than the real thing The University of Twente first learned about the real animal by watching videos and using software to analyze their movements. Currently, it can only move 0.6 miles per hour (1 km/h).
