Researchers said on Monday they had designed the first robotic leg with "artificial muscles"—oil-filled bags allowing machines to move more like humans—that can jump nimbly across a range of surfaces.

More and more robots are assisting workers in factories. However, human-robot collaboration is still far from seamless.
