Jolbot is a robot that rolls and jumps. Jolbot was created by University of Bath PhD student Rhodri Armour.
The general idea is that the robot uses it’s spherical cage to roll along even ground. If it encounters an obstacle it can use an internal spring jump over it.
One potential use for Jolbot is space exploration. The robot is very light, weighing less than a kilogramme.
