PARIS: Researchers said on Monday they had designed the first robotic leg with "artificial muscles" – oil-filled bags allowing machines to move more like humans – that can jump nimbly across a range of surfaces.
The small, disembodied robot leg was shown hopping over grass, sand and rocks in a video released alongside a new study in Nature Communications.
