Abstract

The invention discloses a bionic ant robot. The ant robot comprises a trunk frame, wherein a power supply module is arranged above the trunk frame; a walking mechanism is arranged below the trunk frame; a detecting mechanism and a control mechanism for controlling the walking mechanism are arranged at the front end of the trunk frame; the walking mechanism comprises a steering actuator, a first following actuator and a second following actuator; mechanical legs are connected on output shafts of the steering actuator, the first following actuator and the second following actuator; the detectingmechanism comprises an antenna type sensor and a camera; the camera is electrically connected with a wireless transmission module; the control mechanism comprises the wireless transmission module andan MCU (master control unit); an input end of the MCU is electrically connected with the wireless transmission module and the antenna type sensor; and an output end of the MCU is respectively electrically connected with control signal input ends of the steering actuator, the first following actuator and the second following actuator. The bionic ant robot disclosed by the invention is simple in integral structure and more easily enters complex geological environments to inspect by adopting the way of crawling by the mechanical legs.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mechanical manufacturing, in particular to a bionic ant robot. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the country's social economy, my country has paid more and more attention to scientific research, especially in the fields of geological exploration and natural observation. At present, for scientific researchers, it is difficult to enter the field investigation in places with narrow geology and steep natural environment, so a robot is needed to help them conduct exploration and investigation. However, the current robots all use motor equipment to drive the rollers forward, which leads to the fact that the robots on the market are very bulky and cannot enter the narrow environment. Contents of the invention [0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a bionic ant robot with simple structure, small size, and the ability to enter a narrow space for scientific investiga...
