Salto-1P is a bioinspired monopedal jumping robot developed by UC Berkeley's Biomimetic Millisystems Lab under Prof. Ronald Fearing. The robot uses a specialized leg mechanism with a small motor, linkages, and gears to achieve vertical jumping agility comparable to the lesser bushbaby (Galago senegalensis). Equipped with aerodynamic thrusters and a reaction wheel tail for orientation control, Salto-1P can execute continuous high-power hopping, precision landings on narrow targets, and parkour-style obstacle navigation. The platform is used for academic research in bioinspired robotics and legged locomotion.
