Abstract

Jumping robots have been a hot research spot, since they are playing an important role in the modern wars, aviation and exploration, due to their good ability in obstacle surmounting, excellent adaptability to the ground and strong adaptability to the environment. This paper presents a novel bionic locust jumping robot driven by pneumatic muscle actuators. Dynamic simulation in Adams software is carried out to validate the scheme of the robot. The simulation results prove the feasibility of the design, and provide a reference for the selection of pneumatic muscles.
