"Oh, a small jumping robot," I thought, "I bet it hops over a chair or something." Not even close. Check this out:

Wow!

"If a 6-ft-tall human could jump as high as this robot relative to its height, they could jump 315 feet into the air, high enough to land on the roof of a 30-story building."

This is really nice idea! Moving on flat service is pretty clear, but climbing and even walking up the stairs would be actually pretty complex algoritm to implement. Jumping high is nice and simple idea to avoid going into implementing climbing feature.

I need to see this video one more time!
