Researchers Created A Jumping And Gliding Robot Inspired By A Flying Fish

Earlier we have seen researchers at Stanford University creating world’s first peel and stick solar cells and biological computer with human DNA. And lately, some researchers at Stanford University have developed a small ‘aircraft’, inspired by a flying fish which can jump and glide over a greater distance than an equivalent jumping robot. The aircraft or gliding robot can also adjust its launch angle depending on the surface to move and land gracefully without having to sacrifice distance.

NASA’s Service Robot Dextre Passed Satellite Refueling Test

Last year, we reported that U.S. space agency NASA was developing a “service/orbiting robot” that will go to space, refuel the satellites and if needed will repair them. At that time NASA mentioned that it will start testing the robot in early 2013. Right now NASA is running various tests. The good news is that the robot has successfully passed the test on refueling a satellite.
