Using the single mass-spring model,we study the gaits of a hopping robot for the purpose of minimizing the loss of energy per unit distance covered and present our expressions of energy consumption.

Now,hopping robot will be used more and more and how to improve its capability of jumping is a valuable research.

Adding complaisant mechanism into kangaroo hopping robot can improve the location and driving characters.

The hopping robots are only under research at present.

The miniature hopping robots play the important role in the irregular environment,such as the relief of the victims in the earthquake.

Research on the communication techniques for the control system of a one-legged hopping robot with two actuated arms;

Positive kinematics analysis on bionic kangaroo-hopping robot;

Research on Motion Control of One-Legged Hopping Robot;

Study on the dynamic property in the touchdown phase of kangaroo simulative jumping robot;

In order to study unified modeling of variable constraints system,a dynamics equation of stance phase for jumping robot was established based on floated-basis space.

The fabrication of a dance robot,controlled by C8051F310 microprocessor was descvibed,which has some advantages such as simple,active movements,harmony in dancing and etc.

Aiming at the limit of present hopping robots and in accordance with the structure of kangaroo body and its characteristics of hopping,this paper designs a model of one-leg hopping robot system which is different from SLIP,and on the basis of its analysis of kinematics and dynamics and the optimization of the design goes into details to describe the whole structure of various components.
