Frog Robot

I want the frog robot!

Using a multimaterial 3-D printer, a group of scientists led by Robert Wood at Harvard University created a froglike robot from both rigid and soft materials. [Nicholas W. Bartlett et al, A 3-D-printed, functionally graded soft robot powered by combustion]

The robot's body is stiff near the core control center, making it durable enough to be combustion-powered, while the bot's flexible outer edges help it stick the landing.

It could make friends with the dog robot bob's getting me.
