In this paper, we study a compact wheeled robot with high frequency repeated jumping. Jumping is not only expounding the explore field for the robot, but also express the robot emotion from the motion. We proposed that the robot can interact with a human for jump motion. Then, the robot required high frequency repeated the jumping motion. The robots were evaluated rapid jump frequency capability. The proposed robot has two wheels and a jumping mechanism based on snap-through buckling of an elastic strip. The proposed robot can jump about 5.9 cm high and repeated jumping at 1.9 Hz from the experimental result.
