Development of the Jump & Rotation Mobile Robot

—4th report: Improvement of the Traverse Ability at the Rotation—

Abstract

This paper discusses the improving method of the traverse ability of both the jumping and rotating performance. First, with regard to the jumping, the existence of the optimal piston area to maximize the jumping height is mentioned, when the cylinder stroke is kept constant. Second, the effectiveness of the anisotropy elastic structure on the wheel is pointed out in order to cross over the big object by rotating.
