Jumping is a locomotion strategy widely evolved in both invertebrates and vertebrates. In
addition to terrestrial animals, several aquatic animals are also able to jump in their specific …

Ethorobotics, a new fascinating field of biorobotics, proposes the use of robotic replicas as
an advanced method for investigating animal behaviour. This novel research approach can …

Animals often leap from substrates that give way under them, such as leaves, soft ground or
flexible branches. This provides an added complexity for latch-mediated spring-actuated …

Insect attachment devices enhance adhesion to complex-geometry substrates by increasing
the real contact area. In nature, insects mainly interact with plant surfaces that are often …

Drop jump (DJ) is often used as a plyometric exercise to improve jumping performance.
Training from improper drop heights and for improper durations lead to unfavorable …

Jumping animals launch themselves from surfaces that vary widely in compliance from
grasses and shrubs to tree branches. However, studies of robotic jumpers have been largely …

How animals jump and land on diverse surfaces is ecologically important and relevant to
bioinspired robotics. Here, we describe the jumping biomechanics of the planthopper …

Flying animals such as insects display great flight performances with high stability and
maneuverability even under unpredictable disturbances in natural and man-made …

Legged animals can adapt to complex terrains because they can step or jump over
obstacles. Their application of foot force is determined according to the estimation of the …
