We presented a soft robot, which is able to jump upon ignition of a hydrocarbon/laughing-gas mixture. The roly-poly geometry helped to reorientate the robot after a jump. Depending on the oxidant to fuel ratio, we showed different running properties. The complete paper will be out in the issue of March 2015, in external pageSoft Robotics.
