A robot which includes an aerial unit having a thruster module; a passive leg mechanism operably coupled with the aerial unit; and a controller module configured to control operation of the aerial unit such that the robot is operable in at least a hopping mode. The thruster module is adapted to provide bidirectional thrusts. The bidirectional thrusters enable the robot to handle increased energy losses from ground impacts and the leg mechanism, accommodating heavier payloads.
