"A Soft Cube Capable of Controllable Continuous Jumping," by Shuguang Li, Robert Katzschmann, and Daniela Rus from MIT CSAIL, was presented at IROS 2015 in Hamburg, Germany.
Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have developed a soft robotic cube that uses a series of spring-loaded metal tongues to jump, bounce, and roll. In this video, we watch the process of building a cube in just one minute.
