Data and code for "Springtail-inspired compliant hinge enables terrain-adaptable jumping at the insect scale"

This repository includes datasets and analysis code for the manuscript "Springtail-inspired compliant hinge enables terrain-adaptable jumping at the insect scale." The study integrates comparative morphology, high-speed kinematics, a mathematical model, and a centimeter-scale jumping robot (robo-springtail) to examine how furca length and distal-joint compliance influence escape jumps in springtails, as well as how an equivalent compliant hinge impacts an insect-scale robot.
