New research at the University of Warwick has (pardon the pun) put a new spin on a mathematical analogy involving a jumping grasshopper and its ideal lawn shape. This work could help us understand the ...

Researchers from the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems at EPFL are unveiling a novel, grasshopper-inspired jumping robot at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. The robot ...

I'm not going to tell you the value for an accelerating grasshopper. Instead, I am going to show you how you can figure it out. Well, of course you need a grasshopper first. Right? Thanks to the ...

The Kratt bros learn about the grasshopper's amazing jumping powers! While Aviva and Koki help two Wild Kratt kids make a catapult, Chris and Martin explore the world of grasshoppers. They soon ...

Engineers at CU Boulder have designed a new, rubber-like film that can leap high into the air like a grasshopper—all on its own and without needing outside intervention. Just heat it up and watch it ...

I happened to see a grasshopper leap over an entire picnic table. If I were to make the equivalent jump, I'd launch myself over the pavilion. Grasshopper power, as the Wild Kratts would say. I ...

Researchers from the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have unveiled a "grasshopper-inspired " jumping robot. First displayed at the IEEE ...
