Abstract

Investment in miclo-moving devices has been carried out. In many cases, their driving principle is based on a small amplitude of vibration. But, using this principle, it is difficult to move smoothly if there are holes or differences in level. In this paper, I have tried to make a device which can jump over obstacles and move smoothly on a rough surface, and then have examined its characteristic obstacles condition. This device has some functions for moving adjusted to the change of, for example, jumping in all directions moving quickly and recovering when it falls down.
