"Sand Flea" Robot Jumps 30 Feet.
Robotics company Boston Dynamics created an 11-pound robot called the
“Sand Flea” that can jump 30 feet in the air and is equipped with an
infrared camera.
“The robot uses gyro stabilization to stay level during flight, to
provide a clear view from the onboard camera, and to ensure a smooth
landing”

in action — jumping onto a one story building and straight up the side
of a dirt hill. The Sand Flea’s name hints as the bot’s capabilities —
it can move undetected and close to the ground while springing up into
the air to jump onto higher ground.
The bot has enough energy to jump 25 times and last two hours using
its fuel supply and piston actuator. The controller can choose how high
and at what angle the Sand Flea jumps, while the bot’s four wheels
cushion its landing.

@POLUX I think you missed the point. This is research. Darpa created a network infrastructure we now know as internet. About 40 years ago. It's a long term research agency.
