This video demonstrates how to achieve repetitive jumping locomotion with the quadruped robot SpaceBok at lunar gravity. The robot uses a reaction wheel to control its attitude and parallel springs in the legs to jump efficiently.

The last demonstration of this robot reminds me of a video I saw on YouTube. It is a video of a Kuka robot that writes and if it gets hit by something or pushed by a person. It keeps hold of the same old path it was moving in.
