<p>The present invention relates to a mobile robot having jump function. An exemplary mobile robot according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a robot body; a pair of wheels rotatably connected to the robot body; a driving motor driving the pair of wheels so as to move the robot body; a link mechanism connected to the robot body so as to be elongated to the rear of the robot body and pivotally connected to the robot body so as to pivotally rotate toward the robot body; a spring elastically connecting the robot body and the link mechanism; and a link mechanism regulating unit applying power enabling the link mechanism to overcome elastic power of the spring to move toward the robot body to the link mechanism and subsequently removing the power applied to the link mechanism such that the link mechanism returns to its original state by elastic force of the spring, thereby generating power for jump.</p>
