Abstract

The invention provides a double-column self-reconfigurable modular robot which comprises a plurality of robot units. Each robot unit comprises a prism main module, a prism slave module, a first claw type connecting module and a second claw type connecting module, a first side surface of each prism main module is fixedly connected with a first side surface of the corresponding prism slave module, a second side surface of each prism main module is connected with an end of the corresponding first claw type connecting module, and a third side surface of each prism main module is connected with an end of the corresponding second claw type connecting module; the other end of each first claw type connecting module is connected with the prism slave module of the corresponding adjacent first robot unit; the other end of each second claw type connecting module is connected with the prism slave module of the corresponding adjacent second robot unit; a second side surface of each prism slave module is connected with the corresponding claw type connecting module of the corresponding adjacent third robot unit, and a third side surface of each prism slave module is connected with the corresponding claw type connecting module of the corresponding adjacent fourth robot unit.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device in the technical field of mechatronics, in particular to a double-column self-reconfigurable modular robot. Background technique [0002] With the development of society, the application field and scope of robots are continuously expanded, and the functions of robots tend to be diversified. From the initial simple robots used in industrial manufacturing to the service robots that require intelligence, the relationship between robots and humans is getting closer and closer. . At present, robots are mainly focused on special-purpose robots with a single function. Although their functions can meet the requirements, these robots are expensive to manufacture and use, and cannot meet the requirements of multiple functions. Once a malfunction occurs, its maintenance is inconvenient. Therefore, this type of robot can hardly be extended or applied to other types of robots, and special-purpose robots cannot meet the require...
