  • Abstract
    The geometrical configurations of the locust were obtained by using the stereomicroscope. The kinematics of the jumping process the locusts were analyzed from the high-speed photograph, and the jumping parameters of the locusts were gained. The characteristics of the locust during jumping were discussed. The dynamic model of the locust robot was established by the technology of virtual prototype. The displacement, velocity, acceleration and force of the locust robot during jumping were analyzed. The analysis results could be provided with the locust robot in structural design.
