Tiny robot hops to improve search and rescue missions
Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a thumb-sized robot designed to hop over tall objects or traverse uneven terrain. Small enough to weigh less than a paperclip, the hopping bot is intended for use in search and rescue operations where the environment may be inaccessible or unsafe for humans.
