Design and Experimental Evaluation of a Single-Actuator Continuous Hopping Robot Using the Geared Symmetric Multi-Bar Mechanism

This paper proposes the design and performance evaluation of a miniaturized continuous hopping robot RHop for unstructured terrain. The hopping mechanism of RHop is realized by an optimized geared symmetric closed-chain multi-bar mechanism that is transformed from the eight-bar mechanism, and the ac...
