ABSTRACT:
A legged robot having a robot structure (20) in the form of a closed kinematic chain and an actuator (26) that contracts when activated. The contraction of the actuator extends a foot element (30) such that it can excerpt a pushing force against a ground surface. When the foot element excerpts sufficient force the legged robot can separate from the ground surface and achieve a dynamic hopping motion.
