Abstract
This work presents a 2-cm legged microrobot (BHMbot) capable of ultrafast untethered running speeds, achieved through a complementary combination of bouncing length and frequency. The BHMbot achieves a running speed of 17.5 BL s⁻¹ and a turning centripetal acceleration of 65.4 BL s⁻². Wireless control allows for diverse locomotion trajectories, demonstrated through applications like sound signal detection, locomotion inside a turbofan engine, and drone-assisted transportation.
