Abstract :
Most traditional mobile robots have always had problems when working in obstacle-dense environments and rough terrain. Inspired by the locomotion mode of locust, this paper presents the design of a novel jumping robot. Rationality of the design and the performance of the jumping mechanism have been verified by strength analysis and kinematic modeling.
