Snake-like robot

Abstract

The invention discloses a snake-like robot. The snake-like robot comprises a knuckle mechanism formed by connecting knuckle modules, a plurality of knuckle units are connected through telescopic structures in the peripheral direction to form each ring-shaped knuckle module with the adjustable aperture, the knuckle modules are superposed to form an elongated barrel, each two adjacent knuckle modules are connected through a plurality of hinged structures which are distributed in the peripheral direction, the knuckle mechanism comprises a knuckle inner barrel and a knuckle outer barrel, the knuckle inner barrel consists of the knuckle modules, the knuckle outer barrel sleeves the outer side of the knuckle inner barrel and consists of the knuckle modules, by a front movement module and a rearmovement module which are connected to the two ends of the knuckle mechanism, the knuckle modules in the knuckle inner barrel are driven to move towards the knuckle outer barrel or the knuckle modulesof the knuckle outer barrel are driven to move towards the knuckle inner barrel so as to implement crawling, and an angle between each two adjacent knuckle modules on the knuckle outer barrel is adjusted through the corresponding direction module to control the crawling direction. Forward and backward movement postures are flexibly adjusted according to an actual environment, and the snake-like robot is compact in structure, is suitable for executing tasks in narrow spaces, and is good in performance of overcoming obstacles and high in use stability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bionic robots, in particular to a snake-like robot. Background technique [0002] From the flying of birds, to kites of various shapes, and later more advanced aircraft. From the rapid flight of bats at night to the crucial radar systems in military and civil aviation, they all fully reflect the significant contribution of studying biological systems to the development of science and technology. Imitation and exploration of the movement and function of creatures in nature, understanding and acquisition of favorable movement and control principles, have prompted the emergence and development of bionics. Snake robot is a new type of bionic robot that can imitate the movement of biological snakes. It can realize "limbless movement" like a living creature, can adapt to various complex terrains, and can enter narrow spaces to perform tasks. It has a very wide range of applications in many fields prospect. ...
