Flexible worm-shaped robot and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a flexible worm-shaped robot and a control method thereof, and aims at providing a flexible worm-shaped robot with high adaptive capacity to environment.According to the technical scheme, the flexible worm-shaped robot is characterized in that an actuation single body, a driving assembly and a ground grabbing single body are included; the actuation single body comprises an elastic cavity, and the elastic cavity is provided with a first fixing part for limiting radial expansion of the elastic cavity and a second fixing part for limiting axial expansion of one side of the elastic cavity; the driving assembly is connected with the actuation single body and controls pressure in the elastic cavity; the ground grabbing single body is connected with the actuation single body, barbs with the free ends obliquely arranged according to a certain angle A are arranged on the outer wall of the ground grabbing single body, and the flexible worm-shaped robot can run stably and efficiently and adapt to various environments.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of robots, and more specifically relates to a flexible insect-type robot and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] A robot is a machine device that can perform work automatically. It can receive human command immediately; it can also operate autonomously according to the technical indicators and action principles stipulated by humans through pre-written programs. At present, there are endless researches on robots, but the common robots are almost all rigid, and their own size cannot be changed. Rigid robots have the characteristics of fast movement speed, high operation accuracy, and relatively simple driving. [0003] However, due to the influence of its own rigid conditions and limited range of motion, traditional rigid robots cannot adapt well to various unforeseen environments, that is, the traditional rigid robots have poor environmental adaptability. Changing its own body size and shape, and ...

Problems solved by technology

At present, the research on robots is endless, but the common robots are almost rigid, and their own size cannot be changed. Rigid robots have the characteristics of fast movement speed, high operation accuracy, and relatively simple driving.

[0003] However, due to the influence of its own rigid conditions and limited range of motion, traditional rigid robots cannot adapt well to various unforeseen environments, that is, the traditional rigid robots have poor environmental adaptability. Changing its body size and shape, and cannot guarantee stable and efficient operation in complex environments
