GrassHoper Robot


Keeping these things in mind, Rhodri Armour, a PhD student from the University of Bath as created a new robot that can jump like a grasshopper and roll like a ball, dubbed Jollbot.Jollbot jumps over obstacles and rolls over smoother terrain, could play a key role in space exploration or land survey work in the future.Robots are no longer new to the masses. There have been several robots, but one of the prime causes that limits this gadget is its ability to commute swiftly. Robots with legs are very complex, expensive and encounter problems if they fall while the ones with wheels limit the size of obstacles they can overcome.
