Here, as a simple model system, we study the jumping dynamics of a hemispherical shell on a rigid substrate driven by pneumatically-controlled snap-through buckling. We measure the jumping height of the shell experimentally, aiming to predict the performance of soft robots. We find that the jumping height depends on shell geometry and contact conditions, through scaling argument. Although the hemispherical shell has a seemingly simple geometry, its dynamical performance primarily relies on a complex interplay between the elasticity and geometry. Our predictive framework would pave the way for optimizing the performance of soft robots utilizing geometric nonlinearity.
