Microrobot and swarm robot system

Abstract

The invention relates to a microrobot and a swarm robot system comprising multiple microrobots. The swarm robot system comprises multiple microrobot monomers with the same structures, and a test platform for test activities and charging of the multiple microrobot monomers; and the test platform is provided with a platform body, and a wireless charge emitting coil array arranged on the lower surface of the platform body. Each microrobot is provided with a driving part for driving the robot monomers to move; a control part for controlling interaction behaviors of the robot monomers and comprising an upper circuit board, a middle circuit board, two side circuit boards and a lower circuit board arranged in sequence from top to bottom and in mutual circuit connection; and a power supply part for supplying electricity to the driving part and the control part and comprising a battery and a wireless charge coil matched with the wireless charge emitting coil array. The microrobot and the swarm robot system have the characteristics of convenience in movement, delicate structure and stable charge.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of automatic control technology, computer technology, communication technology and electromechanical information, in particular to a micro robot and a group robot system composed of a plurality of the micro robots. Background technique [0002] Swarm robot system is a type of multi-robot system. It is composed of a large number of simple and autonomous single robots. Through interaction, coordination and control between them, the macroscopic behavior of the group "emerges", especially the orderly macrodynamics. Behavior, such as coupled dynamics research. This kind of swarm robot system is inspired by biota systems such as ants and bees. Such insects can cooperate to perform a large number of complex tasks without a unified leadership. At present, the swarm robot system can achieve obstacle avoidance of swarm robots, formation control of swarm robots, and cooperation of swarm robots to quickly search, round up, and track...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] But the Kilobot robot still has some deficiencies: (1) The movement of the Kilobot robot is realized by the vibration of the motor, and the moving effect is not good; (2) The communication and ranging system in the Kilobot robot occupy a relatively large installation space; (3) The Kilobot robot The communication and distance measurement system in the robot is not stable enough and has defects. For example, the distance measurement of the Kilobot robot is through the reflection of the platform, and its effect is greatly affected by the environment color of the platform where it is located; (4) The power supply needs to be solved urgently. Charging the Kilobot robot for several hours can only consume power for tens of minutes of work, and charging and power supply cannot be performed at the same time
