This robot jumps and lands like a cat. It could be used to explore asteroids

Team in northeast China used artificial intelligence to train the robot to adjust its posture mid-air using its legs.
The article from the South China Morning Post discusses a new robot designed by researchers at Tsinghua University in Beijing, which mimics the jumping and landing abilities of a cat. This robot, weighing about 1.5 kg (3.3 pounds), can leap up to 1.2 meters (3.9 feet) high and land softly, thanks to its innovative design that includes a flexible spine and legs with shock-absorbing capabilities. The robot's development was inspired by the need for exploration tools that can navigate challenging terrains like those found on asteroids or other celestial bodies. Its ability to jump and land safely could make it ideal for missions where traditional rovers might struggle, such as on low-gravity environments or rough surfaces. The project not only showcases advancements in robotics but also aims at practical applications in space exploration, potentially reducing the risk of damage to equipment during landings.
