Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of robots, and discloses a multi-legged walking robot capable of flexibly steering and advancing. The multi-legged walking robot comprises a torso unit and a plurality of walking leg units. Each walking leg unit comprise a first support frame, a first motor driving module, a second support frame, a passive foot module and two leg propulsion modules, and each legpropulsion module comprises a second motor driving module, a thigh and a shank; and the passive foot module comprises a passive support foot and a passive rotating joint, the passive support foot is fixedly mounted on the passive rotating joint, and the passive rotating joint is rotatably mounted at the lower end of one of the shanks. The first motor driving modules of the robot can drive the walking leg units to rotate integrally, to change the propulsion plane, in-situ 360-degree flexible steering of the robot can be realized by combining the passive rotating joints and the support feet, therequired torque for steering is extremely small and only joint friction needs to be overcome, and the leg propulsion modules can fulfill the walking propulsion function of the robot.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of robots, and more particularly relates to a multi-legged walking robot that can flexibly turn and move. Background technique [0002] Due to its discrete support method, the legged robot has unique terrain adaptability, which makes it an ideal carrier to replace and expand human functions. It has very broad application prospects, such as: national defense and military affairs, emergency rescue and relief, planetary surface detection, helping the elderly and the disabled, home assistants, security, education and entertainment, etc. Many developed countries regard it as a cutting-edge technology of strategic significance, and have invested huge sums of money to support comprehensive and in-depth research work. For example, with the long-term support of the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), BostonDynamics has released a variety of hydraulic quadruped, biped and electric quadruped robots with leadin...
