- 1University of Washington study finds more coyotes in cities●University of Washington study suggests more coyotes are living in cities
A University of Washington study suggests coyote populations are increasingly settling in urban areas, according to reporting by Oregon Public Broadcasting. The findings point to growing overlap between coyotes and city residents, raising questions about how cities manage wildlife encounters, protect pets, and educate the public as the adaptable predators expand their presence in metropolitan environments.
- 2University of Washington robot controls its own jump height●Tiny robot developed at the UW can precisely control its jump height
Engineers at the University of Washington have developed a tiny jumping robot capable of precisely controlling how high each jump is. The miniature machine adds to a growing field of small-scale robotics, where fine control of locomotion is a key challenge. Coverage highlights the advance as a step toward agile micro-robots that could one day navigate cluttered or hard-to-reach environments.
