Squirrels reorient their bodies in the air with the movement of their tails.

A dual hand robot achieves pole vaulting to jump 1.67m.

Robotic active bending motion during pole support phase improves reachable height of the robot.

The swing-up motion in pole vaulting inertially generates bending moment on the pole.

Pole vaulters actively bend the poles to improve vaulting height.
