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 actuator of RHop is realized by a servo motor and the clockwork spring, thereby enabling RHop to realize continuous hopping while its motor rotates continuously only in one direction. Comparative simulations and experiments are conducted for RHop. The results show that RHop can realize better continuous hopping performance, as well as the improvement of energy conversion efficiency from 70.98% to 76.29% when the clockwork spring is applied in the actuator. In addition, comparisons with some state-of-the-art hopping robots are conducted, and the normalized results show that RHop has a better energy storage speed.

Abstract Underactuated parallel manipulators that achieve 6 DOF via multiple controllable degrees of freedom per leg are often pursued and reported due to their large workspaces. This benefit comes at a cost to the manipulator’s performance, however. Such manipulators must then be evaluated in order to characterize their kinematics in terms of position and motion. This paper establishes a pair of inverse kinematic solutions for a previously proposed and prototyped 3-leg, 6-DOF parallel robot. These solutions are then used to define the robot’s workspace with experimental validation and to optimize the robot’s geometry for maximum workspace volume. The linear components of the Jacobian are then defined, allowing for analysis of the manipulability of the robot. The full Jacobian is also defined, and singularities are examined throughout the workspace of the robot.
