Engineers built a 5-inch soft robot that jumps like a tiny worm. No legs needed—it uses a silicone body with a carbon-fiber spine to leap 10 feet high. They got the idea from watching nematodes twist and flip themselves around. Now it can reach basketball hoop height.

Wow that’s so cool how this tiny worm-like robot can jump super high without legs just by twisting like a nematode
