A deformable multipurpose soft robot

Abstract

The invention discloses a deformable and multi-purpose software robot, which comprises an elastic casing, wherein the elastic casing is in a ring shape, the axial center of the elastic casing is provided with a cavity, the interior of the cavity is provided with a skeleton, a camera and a load are arranged on the skeleton, and a driving unit is arranged between the outer side wall and the inner side wall of the elastic casing. The software robot has the advantages that the continuous deformation is realized, the software robot is conveniently applied to non-structural occasions, and the walking and the steering are flexible.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of robots, and specifically relates to a deformable multi-purpose soft robot. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, robots have been widely used in various fields of society, such as industry, medicine, agriculture, military, and disaster relief. In recent years, disasters such as earthquakes and mining disasters have occurred from time to time, seriously threatening human safety and have aroused widespread concern. Due to the narrow passage under the ruins after the disaster and the danger of secondary collapse, rescuers cannot conduct deep reconnaissance or rescue operations. People are eager to discover the internal dangers of the disaster site, but they cannot approach or enter the disaster site. Started to develop various robots for search and rescue work. [0003] Traditional robot driving methods, such as wheeled, legged, and rigid driving mechanisms such ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Due to the narrow passages under the ruins after the disaster and the danger of secondary collapse, rescuers cannot carry out in-depth reconnaissance or rescue. People are eager to find out the internal danger of the disaster site, but they cannot approach or enter the disaster site. Started developing various robots for search and rescue work

[0003] Traditional robot drive methods, such as rigid drive mechanisms such as wheel, leg, and swing walk, have shown unique advantages in some applications, but they are not suitable for unstructured applications such as pipeline maintenance, medical diagnosis and treatment, ruin search and rescue, and military reconnaissance. In environmental applications, due to the narrow and changeable working environment and various unknown obstacles, it is relatively difficult for the robot to move autonomously and overcome obstacles, and may not be able to reach the work site
