This paper presents a bio-inspired design of a jumping mini robot including the theoretical
analysis on jumping dynamics based on a simplified biological model, the dynamically …

In order to manipulate the non-predictable and complex environment in disaster, jumping
locomotion, which many natural organisms use to traverse rough terrain and encounter …

Locomotion is a key issue for autonomous robots, moreover if we consider gait efficiency in
exploration and monitoring application. Despite the implicit mechanical and kinematic …

Purpose Jumping robots with coordinated multiple legs have been a hot research subject
during the past years because of their excellent abilities in fast moving and obstacle …

In this study we present the preliminary design of a jumping robot whose purpose is to give
mobility to a 7.5 gr payload. The robot should be able to relocate itself in a workspace of 2.5 …

This paper presents a bio-inspired design of an artificial saltatorial leg for a jumping mini
robot. By using a rebuilt traditional four-bar linkage mechanism, the artificial saltatorial leg is …

In order to study the locust's jumping performance, a high-speed locomotion capture system
is developed. The captured images demonstrate that the locust's jump is driven mainly by …

Nature provides various alternative locomotion strategies which could be applied to robotic
systems. One such strategy is that of jumping, which enables centimeter to millimeter-scaled …
