Design and Development of the Long-Jumping "Grillo" Mini Robot
2007
Engineering of Complex Computer Systems (ICECCS), Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on
This paper describes the design of a fast longjumping robot conceived to move in unstructured environments through simple feed-forward control laws. Despite the apparent similarities with hopping, jumping dynamics is peculiar and involve non-trivial issues on actuation powering, energy saving and stability. The "Grillo" robot described here is a quadruped, 50-mm robot that weights about 15 grams and is suited for a long-jumping gait. Inspired by frog locomotion, a tiny motor load the springs
