The main role of the
robot is on patrolling and monitoring an environment with a fast
movement and delivering the information of the environment.
Scout robots are also applied to the tasks for rescue and search
[3,4]. In this paper, we propose a new robot mechanism to overcome
an obstacle based on human behavior: jumping over the
obstacle instead of climbing over or crawling under it. Although
humans can easily jump over some objects, they cannot roll along
the ground, limiting their traveling speed. Thus a robot with fundamental
jumping and rolling movements is particularly desirable.
