The invention discloses a smart quadruped
robot with a flexible
waist. The smart quadruped
robot with the flexible
waist comprises a front body, a rear body, a
waist mechanism,
crotch mechanisms and leg mechanisms. The front body and the rear body are connected through a split Hooke joint, so that relative deflection and pitching of the front body and the rear body are realized. The front body and the rear body are respectively provided with two
crotch mechanisms, wherein output shafts of the
crotch mechanisms are made to face the outer side of the bodies so that the leg mechanisms can be installed; the output shafts are meshed with bevel gears between transmission shafts for transmission, so that the output shafts are driven through rotation. A fixed shaft is fixed to each crotch mechanism, and the fixed shafts are driven to rotate to rotate a gearbox; in this way, the leg mechanisms can swing front and back as well as up and down. Each
leg mechanism comprises a
thigh part and a calf part, wherein each
thigh part and each calf part are connected through a
knee joint; transmission of the knee joints is realized through two bevel gears, so that the calf part made to swing front and back relative to the
thigh part. The smart quadruped
robot with the flexible waist has the advantages that the capability of passing through a mountain environment of the robot can be improved, the
turning radius in the advancing process is reduced, rotational
inertia of legs of the robot is reduced, and the energy
utilization rate is increased.
