Jumper – Cute Crab Robot

KingKong Robotics released Jumper, an open-source 22-DoF crab robot project whose repository is designed to be opened in an AI coding assistant so users can describe desired appearances, motions and scenes in one sentence. The project lets users create and export .skin appearance files, train and package tripod-gait motions as .app bundles, and build .map scenes, with training built on mjlab, rsl_rl, MuJoCo and MuJoCo Warp. Maintainer-owned materials are licensed under Apache-2.0, and a free Jumper is offered through the Crab Robot Challenge 2026.
