Adobrable bush baby inspires super-jumping robot

Researchers are looking to the natural world for inspiration that will one day help them design life-saving robots.  Salto is a monopedal and somewhat skeletal 10.2-inch-tall robot that can jump higher and more quickly than most other robots in the world today.
