Grasshopper-bot!

"Instead of muscles, the microbot uses a 0.6 gram motor that charges two torsion springs. With its current battery pack, it can make about 300 jumps before it needs a recharge, but the researchers envision tiny solar cells eventually helping increase its uptime. Like even tinier flea-sized microbots developed at Berkeley, insect-like bots could be used in swarms to act as exploring or sensing agents in areas where humans would rather not tread."

That robot is incroyable!

Amazing work by Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne!!!
