• Resumen

  • Marks features the Jump Glider, which could be the first in a new generation of robots, harnessing aerodynamic lift to travel further than it would if it simply hopped, and without using additional energy. Alexis Lussier Desbiens and colleagues at Stanford University in California created the robot, which is 30 centimeters long and has a battery charged by a solar cell.
