摘要对比了仿生跳跃机器人较轮式、履带式等其他类型机器人在复杂地形下运动的特定优势.根据生物界不同物种间相对运动速度的对比验证了尺度效应.引入弗劳德系数论证了跳跃方式在小型物体运动中的优势.介绍了日本、美国、意大利等国研究机构有关跳跃机器人的设计方案、研制现状及应用前景.分析了跳跃机器人所涉及的关键技术,提出了微型仿生跳跃机器人的设计方案,包括动力提供、储能和释放、稳定性维持、障碍探测、传感器集成等问题.对跳跃机器人应用领域做了分析和展望.

abstractsThis paper presents a review over bio-inspired concept of jumping robot for locomotion on uneven terrains.First,scale effect is proved by comparison of different speeds of animals and Froude number is introduced to demonstrate the higher effectiveness of jumping mode:in the small robots.The worldwide development of design and application of jumping robots in Japan,USA.Italy,etc,is introduced.Also,description over key techniques used in the robot is given about locomotion,energy storing and releasing,stabilization,sensor integration and obstacle detection.The prospect of the application area is discussed in the end.
