I'm currently developing a leaping robot that draws inspiration from nematode. We are aware that nematodes can swim and crawl well, but there are few species that can leap well. In this endeavor, I'm also examining the nematode kinematic leaping behavior and how specific curvatures help for efficient jumpers .
