The invention discloses a spherical 
rescue robot with a rolling-
jumping function and a control method, belongs to the technical field of rescue robots, and relates to a 
spherical robot which is used for disaster 
search and rescue and has rolling and 
jumping functions and a control method. The 
robot is composed of a left hemispheroid, a right hemispheroid, a center control bin and a plurality of identical 
magneto-rheological thrust mechanisms. Each 
magneto-rheological thrust mechanism is composed of a reset spring, a thrust mechanism shell, a 
magneto-rheological material, an 
electromagnetic coil, a connecting bolt, a nut, a magneto-rheological material-water diaphragm, water, a sealing ring and a ground supporting rod. According to the control method, the center control bin is used for controlling, the IMU sensor measures the current 
pose and acceleration data of the 
spherical robot, the power-on state and the power-on time of each 
electromagnetic coil are controlled, the internal ground supporting rods are controlled to pop out to 
impact the ground, and power is provided for the 
spherical robot. The spherical 
robot is compact in structure, high in environment adaptability and low in movement 
energy consumption, and the problem of multi-group collaborative rolling-
jumping driving in a small-size space of the spherical 
robot is effectively solved.
