Few people can say they can master parkour, the art of surpassing obstacles by jumping over or bouncing off of them. It looks all very exciting but it’s very difficult. That’s why it’s exciting to see ...

Salto, a cute little machine that can leap vertically off walls, could revolutionize search and rescue missions, or at least parkour. Eric Mack has been a CNET contributor since 2011. Eric and his ...

Meet Salto, a UC Berkeley-designed robot that, like a parkour athlete, can string together consecutive vertical jumps. Its developers hope to use the robot in search-and-rescue missions, where it can ...

Roboticists at University of California, Berkeley, have invented a robot that can jump nearly two metres high. The robot, called Salto (saltatorial locomotion terrain obstacles), has been designed to ...

Meet the robot that can do parkour. Salto, a lightweight bot that stands on one skinny leg like a flamingo, can leap from floor to wall, then off again — like parkour athletes bouncing between ...

Researchers and engineers from the University of California, Berkeley, developed a robot named Salto, inspired by squirrels, that can jump from branch to branch and land on narrow perches while ...

This cute, one-legged hopping robot out of UC Berkeley's Biomimetics lab has been capable of doing sweet parkour-style double-jumps off walls since 2016. By 2018, it was hopping continuously to ...

Meet SALTO: the tiny robot designed not to deliver salty puns on the internet, but rather to jump extremely accurately. SALTO stands for Saltatorial Locomotion on Terrain Obstacles. Saltatorial is a ...

Engineers developing space exploration robots drew inspiration from the common squirrel for their latest cutting-edge bot design, which they say could also help in search and rescue missions during ...

James Vincent is a senior reporter who has covered AI, robotics, and more for eight years at The Verge. Leaping out of the labs at UC Berkeley and straight into my heart, it’s SALTO: a robot designed ...

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have built a robot with huge ups. Salto can launch itself a meter in the air despite weighing less than a quarter pound and standing only a few ...
