Many robots have been developed for the purpose of exploring. However, carrying robots to the disaster sites is dangerous. If it can be thrown into the disaster sites, operators will be safe. The purpose of this study is the development of durable robots. Thus, we developed quadruped robot with spherical shell. We have added a jumping function to climb over steps to it and Calculation of it by air cylinder for the realization. We found conditions for jumping of legs for jumping. We confirmed jumping preparation posture by using the inverse kinematics. Also we confirmed conditions jumping and formula of jumping directions.
