But that's the more challenging (and thus more impressive) part of it. I haven't spent any time in researching "jumping" and I'm sure this jumping robot is impressive to those in the know, but as a layman, this is like a self-driving car minus the self part.

- DHaldane 10y agoConsider too the publication this research appeared in. Science Robotics is concerned with the scientific underpinnings of robotics, which in this case was the new ideas about how robots can jump. I could slap an off the shelf stereo SLAM system on the robot, but that's just solving an integration problem instead of doing the science.
