Development of jumping robot

The ability of jumping is unique because it allows robots to travel over many types of rough terrain where no other walking or wheeled robot could go. The idea of jumping robot is the energy associated with the vertical motion is transferred from the kinetic energy of falling into potential energy of elastic deformation and back. The jumping robot is designed by Solid work software and the possible jumping and movement is simulated by Cosmos motion software. The spring force is analyzed and the jumping displacement generated by spring energy per time is simulated. Also the pneumatic circuit is designed and simulated. The simulations of spring forces are given, which are accumulated and change to jumping power. The result is given in displacement of vertical jumping.
