Achieving short-distance flight helps improve the efficiency of bipedal robots moving in complex environments (e.g., crossing large obstacles or reaching high places) for rapid emergency missions. This study proposes a design of a flying bipedal robot named Jet-HR2 (Fig. 1(a)). The robot has 10 joints driven by brushless motors and harmonic drives for locomotion. To overcome the challenge of the stable-attitude takeoff under low thrust-to-weight conditions, the robot was designed based on the…
