Short summary
First, a jumping leg mechanism that imitates a goat's hindlimb is proposed. Second, the kinematics of a goat-inspired jumping leg is analyzed and the jumping trajectory planning is conducted with cubic polynomial curves to guarantee smoothness in the jumping process. Finally, experiments on the goat-inspired jumping leg are conducted to test its jumping performance and to verify the correctness of the kinematic model and the jumping trajectory planning method of the leg.
