A throwable miniature robotic system

2011 IEEE International Conference on Automation and Logistics (ICAL), 2011
Before the soldiers or police take actions, a fast and real-time detection in dangerous places, such as indoor, passageway and underpass, can both guarantee the soldiers' safety and increase the battle's accuracy, so it is significative and necessary to design a kind of scout robot which is able to arrive in the target region to acquire the message ...

A locust-inspired miniature jumping robot

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2015
Unmanned ground vehicles are mostly wheeled, tracked, or legged. These locomotion mechanisms have a limited ability to traverse rough terrain and obstacles that are higher than the robot's center of mass. In order to improve the mobility of small robots it is necessary to expand the variety of their motion gaits. Jumping is one of nature's solutions to
