Grasshopper-like material designed to leap 200 times its own thickness

Control Engineering

Material Science Insights A new rubber-like material could aid in the creation of “soft robots” capable of motion without utilizing gears or other hard components. The unusual behavior is produced by a class of materials called liquid crystal elastomers. The material can leap to a height of nearly 200 times its own thickness in six milliseconds.
