Complex and unknown areas in deep space exploration present major challenges to the motion ability of current space robots. Different from the traditional single-mode motion space robot, a compound motion robot with flexible movement and strong obstacle surmounting ability is proposed. Through the highly integrated structure design, the lightweight robot has the ability of rolling and jumping, and the kinematic characteristics of the robot under two motion modes are analyzed. This work provides a reference for the design of deep space exploration equipment with high motion capability in the future.
