(Fox News) Michael Casey - Israeli scientists have developed a robot that is only five inches long and weighs less than an ounce. The scientists printed out the body of the robot on a 3D printer. It can jump 11 feet high and cover a horizontal distance of 4.5 feet in one leap. Tel Aviv University's Amir Ayali, who developed the robot with Ort Braude College, said, "Miniature robots are of special interest in the robotics field, attracting a lot of attention and research. The manufacture of tiny robots is cheap and efficient; their small size allows them to traverse difficult and unknown terrain; and many can be used in any given situation."
