  • Abstract
    /sup T/he University of Minnesota´s Scout is a small cylindrical robot capable of rolling and jumping. Models describing the robot´s motion are developed. These models can be employed for motion prediction and simulation. The results suggest that the determining factor of the Scout´s behavior is the length of the winch cable.
