Abstract
This paper introduces a new designed biomimetic robot frog which has the capability of balancing and controlling the height and length of jumping process. Hence a payload is considered inside the robot to keep its balance in high altitude. The positions of motors which generate the force of jumping operation are evaluated. The obtained results showed significant effect of the new design on jumping, balancing and altitude regulation.
