Steerable miniature jumping robot [PDF]
Autonomous Robots, 2009 Jumping is used in nature by many small animals to locomote in cluttered environments or in rough terrain. It offers small systems the benefit of overcoming relatively large obstacles at a low energetic cost. In order to be able to perform repetitive jumps in a given direction, it is important to be able to upright after landing, steer and jump again ...

A Miniature Water Surface Jumping Robot
IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2017 Many small insects such as water striders can leap from water surface. Inspired by their jumping capability, we present the design of a novel, miniature, water surface jumping robot in this paper. Jumping from water surface is more challenging than jumping from ground due to the liquid water surface.

Optimal design of gear ratio using non-circular gear for jumping robot
Mechanical Engineering Journal, 2015 For the effective use of motor power, an appropriate gear ratio has to be selected according to robot tasks and motions. Because a jumping robot, in particular, requires both high torque and high velocity properties through its motion, a varying gear ...

Jumping with Expandable Trunk of a Metamorphic Quadruped Robot—The Origaker II
Applied Sciences, 2019 Most of the traditional quadruped robots are assembled with rigid trunks that make no active contributions to their locomotion performances. However, in the natural world, some quadrupeds expand their trunks when jumping.

Development of a controllable and continuous jumping robot
2011 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2011 A miniature robot with continuous jumping ability is presented in this paper. The robot has a dimension about 6cm×8cm×2cm and weighs 20 grams. To achieve continuous jumping, various mechanisms are needed including the jumping mechanism, energy store and release mechanism, self-righting mechanism, and jumping direction changing mechanism. The design and

Inertia Matching Manipulability and Load Matching Optimization for Humanoid Jumping Robot
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2012 Human jumping motion includes stance phase, flight phase and landing impact phase. Jumping robot belongs to a variable constraints system because every phase has different constraint conditions. An unified dynamics equation during stance phase and flight
