Swiss scientists have developed a robot.  It has been inspired by a grasshopper.  The robot is tiny measuring 7 g.  It has been developed by Laboratory of Intelligent Systems at EPFL.  A conference was held called IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Pasadena, California. 

The abilities of the robot are:

1. It can jump 1.4 m.
2. It is 10 times farther in size.
3. It may be fitted with tiny sensors to explore rough, inaccessible terrain.
4. It will aid in rescue operations.

The robo-hopper is a fascinating robot and I like robots as it helps man do something which is difficult for him to do.  Robotics are also used in those jobs where there is hazard for man biologically!
