A jumping robot based on artificial muscles
Abstract
Abstract This paper presents a robot based on McKibben pneumatic artificial muscles (PAM) capable of fast jumping performance. On the basis of a combination of the high power density characteristic of PAM and the energy storage structure that can be released quickly, we use the Sarrus mechanism to generate linear motion, and the torsion springs are used to store energy. It is verified by simulation and experiment that it can realize rapid continuous jumping of robots. The application of pneumatic-driven systems to the design of a jumping robot provides a perspective for the applications of robotics.
