This tiny soft robot doesn’t need a motor to keep jumping. It uses infrared light to power its movement.

When the infrared light hits the liquid crystal elastomer ribbon, the material contracts and begins twisting. The V-shaped aluminum part stops it from simply rolling, so the twist keeps storing elastic energy. Once enough energy builds up, the V-shaped part snaps against the ground and launches the robot into the air.

The clever part is what happens next: after the jump, the soft ring returns to its original shape and automatically starts the process again. So as long as the infrared light is present, the jumping cycle can continue.

Even more interesting, changing the V-angle can make it crawl, jump forward, or leap vertically.

Would you rather see this technology used for exploring rough terrain or tiny swarm robots?

So it can crawl jump forward or leap upward just by changing geometry

I’m more curious about the light intensity too much light makes its movement unpredictable?

Wait the robot actually resets itself after landing?

I never expected twisting a soft ribbon could store enough energy to launch it like that

The 50 degree design jumping vertically is such a small change with a big effect
