China's KingKong Technology unveils 'Jumper', a 1.8 kg crab robot that walks and jumps, and open-sources its AI dev tools (reported)
What happened
Chinese robotics company KingKong Technology (킹콩테크놀로지) has unveiled 'Jumper', a small robot that moves on multiple legs, jumps and picks up objects with front claws. It weighs 1.8 kg. The company open-sourced Jumper's AI development tools, so users can train new movements such as walking, jumping and dancing, or change how it looks.
Provider claims
The robot was described as able to jump up to 40 cm or more (the excerpt was cut off, so details need checking).
Why it matters
A low-cost robot that comes with open motion-training tools could become an entry-level platform for hobby and educational robot-learning experiments.
