Abstract:

In this video, we propose the robotic jerboa which is a compact bipedal kick-and-slide robot powered by unidirectional impulse force generators. The robotic jerboa moves fast not only running forward but also turning right and left by kicking and sliding on the ground repeatedly. The robotic jerboa kicks toward the direction which the horizontal component is large by its legs in order to jump forward effectively. The robotic jerboa is composed as its legs are protruded out of the side of its body respectively for realization of the quick turning. We show that the palm-top size robotic jerboa whose weight is of only 70[g] achieves the velocity of 1.5[m/s] and the turning angular velocity of 11.5[rad/s] instantaneously.
