Title
Design of a bionic saltatorial leg for jumping mini robot
Abstract
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 able to successfully imitate the characteristic of a real jumping insect, kinematically and dynamically. According to the simulation analysis, jumping performance is improved by choosing a better tibia/femur ratio and a proper mass center placement. By means of high speed camera experiment, the jumping characteristic among insect, dynamic model and robot is compared; the dynamic similarity between insect and the robot is shown at last.
