Title
A miniature jumping robot with self-recovery capabilities
Abstract
Abstract— In nature, many animals are able to jump, upright themselves,after landing,and,jump,again. This allows,them to move,in unstructured,and,rough,terrain. As a further development of our previously presented 7g jumping robot, we consider,various mechanisms,enabling,it to recover and upright after landing,and,jump,again. After a weighted,evaluation,of these different solutions, we present a spherical system with a mass of 9.8g and a diameter of 12cm that is able to jump, upright,itself after landing,and,jump,again. In order,to do so autonomously, it has a control unit and sensors to detect its orientation,and,spring,charging,state. With,its current configuration,it can,overcome,obstacles,of 76cm at a take-off angle of 75,.
