An article published in the journal “Science Advances” reports the presentation of the project of a so-called soft robot created inspired by the cheetah’s biomechanics. This type of robot, called Leveraging Elastic instabilities for Amplified Performance (LEAP), can move much faster on solid surfaces than previous generations of soft robots. Another skill of LEAP is to grasp objects gently or with enough force to lift heavy objects. The idea of ​​its creators is to propose a new paradigm for soft robots with different possibilities for their construction and use.
