New Robot Can Jump on Water

29th July 2012

Read it. And watch the video.

The robot’s five legs consist of carbon-fiber bars atop supports made from superhydrophobic nickel, an extremely water-repellent compound. When plunged into water, a pocket of air forms around the nickel, preventing the legs from sinking.

Three supporting legs balance the robot, while two spring-loaded jumping legs send it six inches high and twice as far.
