Chinese scholar Jie Yin and his team, inspired by cheetahs, have developed a new soft-bodied robot, the LEAP robot, which has a wider range of applications than traditional robots.The LEAP robot can carry out rapid search and rescue work, and can be utilized in the production of fragile items in the food, cosmetic, glass and other industries; it can also It can also be used in the production of fragile goods in the food, cosmetics, glass and other industries; it can also help patients with damaged knees to regain movement.

Today's technology is developing so rapidly that robots have entered the public eye, bringing us a lot of convenience, and in the future development of the times, robots will be more and more heavily used. The beginning of the robot belongs to the rigid robot, this robot is made of very hard materials, not too flexible, is that we are more common class of robots; to the present has appeared a class of soft robots, it is more flexible than the rigid robot, the function is also more than it.

In the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at North Carolina State University, assistant professor Jie Yin and his team, inspired by cheetahs, researched a new type of soft robot?LEAP robot, the robot moves very fast, but also able to lift heavy objects, a lot of functions and work very efficiently.

In addition to these advantages, LEAP robots can also grasp fragile objects, as can people, which is generally not possible with rigid robots because the body is relatively hard; LEAP robots can help with the rehabilitation of patients with damaged knee joints, and LEAP robots can also act as a soft joint to help them with walking and running exercises.

According to the information LEAP robot moves very fast, there is 0.8 seconds per second body length speed movement, and at a frequency of 3Hz, it can reach 2.7 times per second body length speed movement, which is already very fast. LEAP Robot can move on the ground, but also on an inclined surface, just like a human; it can swim almost as well as a human.

Because of these features of soft robots LEAP Robot can do search and rescue work; just now I said that LEAP Robot can grasp fragile items,which means it can also be used in the production of food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, glass, and other industries.
