Software robot

Abstract

The invention relates to a software robot which can be applied to non-structural operation environments of pipeline maintenance, ruins searching and rescuing, military reconnaissance and the like. The software robot mainly comprises a matrix, differential magnetic rigid units or differential magnetic polymer composite materials, a control power source and a control circuit, the matrix comprises a head, a neck, a trunk, feet and a tail, the differential magnetic rigid units or the differential magnetic polymer composite materials are of a small laminated structure, four or more channels are circumferentially arranged in the trunk, the differential magnetic rigid units or the differential magnetic polymer composite materials are axially embedded in the channels, and integral bending and wriggling are achieved by controlling stroke of the differential magnetic rigid units or the differential magnetic polymer composite materials in the channels. According to the software robot, the built-in power source is used, the whole circuit is wrapped in the matrix so that the circuit is prevented from being eroded and destroyed by environments, forming processability and elasticity are good, and actions of the robot are flexible and continuous.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a soft robot used in non-structural operating environments such as pipeline maintenance, ruin search and rescue, and military reconnaissance. Background technique [0002] Robots have been widely used in military, industrial, scientific detection and many other fields. Traditional robots are generally composed of rigid modules connected by kinematic pairs, and the combination of all kinematic pairs forms the working space of the robot end effector. This kind of robot has the advantage of precise movement, but the rigidity of the structure makes it poorly adaptable to the environment and cannot pass through Narrow or complex spaces. [0003] Soft robot is a continuation of bionic robot research, imitating mollusks in nature, with infinite degrees of freedom and continuous deformation ability, and can change its shape and size arbitrarily in a wide range. Due to its excellent flexibility and adaptability, it has broad applicati...

Problems solved by technology

Since it is necessary to drive the PVC pipe to shrink through the rotation of the motor, thereby extruding the matrix to generate a driving force to drive the robot, the structure of the whole robot is relatively complicated.

Moreover, most robots are wired, and the redundancy of the lines easily affects the movement of the robots, and the lines are easily eroded and damaged by the environment.
