(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Caltech have built a bipedal robot that combines walking with flying to create a new type of locomotion, making it exceptionally nimble and capable of complex movements.

Their robot can perform movements that some humans have difficulty with, including walking on a slackline, hopping, and riding a skateboard.
