Wind-up elastic robot jumps indefinitely on infrared light

Original: Wind-up elastic robot jumps forever when fed infrared light

Researchers have developed a wind-up, elastic-powered robot that can keep jumping indefinitely as long as it is supplied with infrared light, which recharges its elastic mechanism. The design points to small, battery-free jumping robots that could operate for extended periods in hard-to-reach places.

Why now: A battery-free robot powered by light is a notable robotics breakthrough that draws broad attention.
