Embodiment Construction

[0040] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but the present invention is not limited in any form. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0041] Such as Figure 1-6 As shown, it is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a cube-shaped reconfigurable modular robot unit. The unit includes three active surface modules 100 and three driven surface modules 200, wherein: the three active surface modules 100 are adjacent distribution, three driven surface modules 200 are adjacently distributed. Three active surface modules and three driven surface modules are connected and locked to form a cube structure.

[0042]The structures of the three active surface modules 100 are exactly the same, and each active surface mo...

Abstract

The invention provides a cubic modular reconfigurable robot unit which comprises three driving surface modules and three driven surface modules. The driving surface modules comprise drive mechanisms and driving surface rotating fastener mechanisms, the driven surface modules comprise stop pin control mechanisms and driven surface rotating fastener mechanisms, and the unit has three degrees of freedom. The invention further provides a modular reconfigurable robot formed by assembling a plurality of units. The units can be assembled into the modular reconfigurable robot with different degrees offreedom and capable of meeting requirements of different application places by different topological connection modes, the units are conveniently disassembled and assembled, and the maintenance costof a modular robot system can be greatly reduced. The cubic modular reconfigurable robot unit with a module structure has the advantages of connection reliability, convenience in disassembly and assembly, movement flexibility and the like and can be widely applied and not limited to the fields of industry, aerospace, education, rescue and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device in the field of robots, in particular to a modular reconfigurable robot unit and a reconfigurable modular robot formed by connecting more than two units. Background technique [0002] With the continuous improvement of automation in production and life, traditional robots have a single degree of freedom and a fixed workspace, which makes it difficult to meet changing work scenarios, and it is also difficult to quickly repair once a failure occurs. [0003] Reconfigurable modular robots are complex systems composed of multiple basic modular units that can be recombined into different structures to suit different work tasks. It is especially suitable for occasions where the environment is unknown and the execution task changes, and it has broad application prospects and great research significance in solving complex problems. However, the current structure of reconfigurable modular units generally has problems such as c...
