Abstract
In this paper, we propose a winged jump robot which has the mobility not only by jumping on the ground but also by gliding in the air from a height. The proposed robot consists of a trunk with a kicking leg, two wings, and a wing frame connecting the wings to the trunk. The trunk is based on the jump robot 'Robotic Kikker' developed by our laboratory which can jump at a distance of over 0.5[m]. The wing frame is designed not to transmit the trunk deformation during kicking motion to the wings. It is shown that, by selecting the size of the wings appropriately, the robot can reach at a distance of about 4[m] by jumping and gliding from a height of 2.6[m] at the maximum velocity of 3.9[m/s].
