摘要

The objective of this study was to develop a robot capable of climbing walls by jumping, in order to enhance maneuverability and mobility and thereby extend its applicability. Our primary focus was to enable the robot to return to a wall after jumping and then cling to the wall without falling. This paper presents a robot with a tail that is specially equipped with a mass load capable of altering the posture of the robot in midair, thereby enabling it to return to the surface of the wall without the need for any other external force. This study explored the changes in posture induced by this mechanism and observed jumping performance and posture changes based on the trajectory of the claw tips and the overall movement of the robot while jumping. After adjusting the design parameters, a series of jumping experiments was conducted to verify that the climbing robot could adjust its posture using the tail action after jumping.
