Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we have been developing walking robots with a spherical outer shell composed of superelastic rods. We have been proceeding with the development of three prototype robots aiming at establishment of a movement method by walking locomotion, realization of hybrid movement using the spherical outer shell, and movement by jumping motion. QRoSS II and IV which are prototype models were realized rotational movement of two types using the spherical outer shell. QRoSS III is aimed at moving over rough terrain by jumping motion, we realized jumping motion, constructing takeoff posture, and considering walking locomotion.
