Salto the Jumping Robot

Caption

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, first unveiled Salto the jumping robot in 2016. Now, they've equipped the robot with a slew of new skills, giving it the ability to bounce in place like a pogo stick and jump through obstacle courses like an agility dog. Salto can even take short jaunts outside, powered by a radio controller.
