Abstract :
This paper describes the kinematic analysis of two different cricket locomotion modalities, and the use of these data in a dynamic simulation to combine and simplify the insect´s complex three-dimensional movements. The results of this simulation will then become the input to the design and control of a microrobot capable of mimicking the walking and jumping behaviors of the cricket
