Embodiment Construction

[0019] The structure of the present invention will be explained in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

[0020] Such as Figure 1-3 Shown, a kind of soft body quadruped crawling robot, this robot comprises robot body and control system, and robot body comprises body support 1, four legs 2 that are installed on body support 1, and each leg 2 is extended by four extensions arranged side by side. The control system consists of a DSP control module 4 and a drive amplifier module 5. The input terminals of the drive amplifier module 5 are respectively connected to the DSP control module 4, and the output terminals are connected to the elongated pneumatic muscle 3 through sixteen pneumatic valves 6. connection, the air supply is connected to the pneumatic valve.

[0021] Among the four legs of the soft quadruped crawling robot of the present invention, each leg 2 is composed of four elongated pneumatic muscles 3 , a total of sixteen elongated pneumatic mus...

Abstract

The invention discloses a soft-body crawling robot with four feet. The robot comprises a robot body and a control system, wherein the robot body comprises a body bracket, and four legs mounted on the body bracket; each leg consists of four extended pneumatic muscles in parallel arrangement; the control system comprises a DSP control module and a driving amplifying module, wherein the input end of the driving amplifying module is connected with the DSP control module, and the output end of the driving amplifying module is connected with the extended pneumatic muscles through sixteen pneumatic valves; an air source is connected to the pneumatic valves. The soft-body crawling robot with four feet, disclosed by the invention, is simple in structure and small in size and can enter a small narrow space to complete tasks in complex environment; the extended pneumatic muscles are controlled to extend or return to the original positions, so that moving forwards or backwards of the robot with four feet can be realized. According to the soft-body robot disclosed by the invention, the DSP is adopted as a processor, and the extended pneumatic muscles are used as executing mechanisms, so that the movement of the soft-body robot with four feet is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of robots, and in particular relates to a soft quadruped crawling robot. Background technique [0002] At present, robot technology has been applied to fields including industry, civil, military, etc. However, traditional robots have very large structures and their components often use rigid structures, which make it difficult to autonomously pass through narrow spaces and complex working environment. Therefore, soft robots have been greatly favored in recent years. It is a very complex product in the field of robotics. Due to its own softness and deformability, soft robots can produce unlimited degrees of freedom of movement, which is what traditional robots do. unattainable. At present, research on soft robots has received extremely high attention abroad. For example, the "Octopus" project of the European Union and the "Softrobot" invented by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and domestic scien...
