Researchers have developed a tiny jumping robot capable of precisely controlling the height of each jump. The achievement is notable because fine-tuned jump control at small scales is difficult, and could support applications in exploration, search-and-rescue, or microrobotics research.
- 6New SBC and controller combine robot functions in one package▼SBC and controller deliver inference, vision, navigation, control and connectivity for robots.
A single-board computer paired with a dedicated controller has been introduced for robotics applications, combining AI inference, computer vision, navigation, motion control and connectivity in one integrated platform. The announcement, covered by Electronics Weekly, targets developers of mobile and autonomous robots who would otherwise need multiple separate modules to achieve the same functionality.
