Abstract
This paper describes a biomimetic jumping mechanism, comprised of coil spring and electromagnetic switching system. The jumping movement of beach fleas was analyzed with a high-speed video camera system, and jumping organ was observed by using of a laser scanning microscope. Based on the jumping motion analysis and observation of jumping organ of beach flea, a simple jumping mechanism was designed and produced. The jumping characteristics of mechanism were also examined with the high-speed video camera system. It was found that the microtrichia morphology of jumping organ plays an important role for the extension of horizontal distance in mechanism jumping.
