Comparison of Three Different Wheeled-hopping Robots

Abstract

Hopping robot is playing an important role in the exploration on bumpy road. This paper presents three different wheeled-hopping robots all designed by ourselves. Firstly, the mechanical structure of the three different wheeled-hopping robots is introduced. The corresponding advantages and disadvantages are also discussed in our paper. Then, through the simulated results we compare these three different designs on the hopping performance and the factors affecting the motion. Finally, we’ll conclude and show our thoughts about the future development on the wheeled-hopping robot.
