"Zero-Gravity Testing: Hopping Robot Explores Asteroids in Space"

SpaceHopper, a three-legged robot developed at ETH Zurich, has been tested in a simulated zero-gravity environment during a European Space Agency parabolic flight. Designed to explore asteroids and moons, the robot's hopping movements combat low-gravity environments, allowing it to reposition and jump in a specific direction. The successful experiments demonstrate its potential for future deployment in space exploration missions.
