➀ Researchers have developed a shape-shifting robot called GOAT that can adapt to different terrains like animals.

➁ The robot can change its form between a flat rover shape and a sphere, enabling it to drive, roll, and even swim while using less energy.

➂ Future research will focus on refining algorithms and exploring size variations for different payloads, with potential applications in environmental monitoring, disaster response, and space exploration.

➀ Researchers at Northeastern University in China have developed an H-shaped bionic robot that mimics a cheetah’s running motion using piezoelectric materials.

➁ The H-shaped bionic piezoelectric robot (H-BPR) features four legs connected by three piezoelectric beams, allowing it to mimic a cheetah’s gait through periodic leg movements.

➂ Experiments showed the robot could achieve a maximum velocity of 66.79 mm/s and a load capacity of 55 g, demonstrating potential for industrial applications and search-and-rescue missions.

➀ Engineers and roboticists from the University of Hong Kong have developed a high-speed aerial robot named SUPER that can navigate unknown environments while avoiding obstacles.

➁ The robot uses 3D LiDAR technology instead of traditional cameras and sensors to provide real-time feedback and generate a flight path strategy in real-time.

➂ During testing, the robot demonstrated the ability to navigate obstacle courses at 20 meters per second and track targets in complex environments.
