Mechanics of Jumping Heads: Takahiro Matsuno Contact: Takahiro Matsuno Date: 2019 - Mailing address: Dept. Robotics, Ritsumeikan Univ. Kusatsu, Shiga 525-8577, Japan Supported by: Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovation Areas (Science of Soft Robots) JP19H05337 Mechanics and Synthesis of Soft Contact Associated lab/group: Niiyama Lab. (Univ. Tokyo)

Project Description

We will investigate the deformed shape of a circular spring mechanism that mzximizes its jumping height. We will design a mechanis that realizes the obtained deformed shape, with analyzing the mechanics during jumping to find out the principle for heigher jumping.
