Problems solved by technology

However, the use of traditional underwater unmanned aerial vehicles to study marine life obviously has the following two problems: First, traditional underwater unmanned aerial vehicles will disturb underwater life, although it is impossible to observe the most real marine life Second, traditional underwater unmanned vehicles are likely to accidentally injure marine life during operation
When traditional underwater unmanned vehicles are used for exploration, it is easy to cause damage to monuments

Embodiment Construction

[0023] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] The invention is an underwater robot designed based on the octopus swimming mode, which is suitable for military applications such as underwater lurking, underwater investigation, target tracking, and anti-submarine, as well as civilian needs such as marine biological research and seabed exploration. The bionic octopus robot has the characteristics of multiple motion modes such as rapid water jet motion and underwater gliding motion, and includes a head part, a nozzle part, and a tentacle part. The head part includes a hard inner shell, an elastic rubber outer skin, a fixed plate, an elastic rubber member, a steering gear, a connecting rod, a four-layer disc, a power supply, a single-chip microcomputer, and an environmental sensing device. The nozzle part includes a valve mechanism, an upper disc, and a catheter mechanism. The tentacles include eight tentacles,...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of underwater robots, in particular to a bionic octopus robot. The bionic octopus robot comprises a head part, a nozzle part and a tentacle part. The head part comprises a rigid inner shell, elastic rubber skin, a fixing plate, elastic rubber components, a steering engine, connection rods, a four-layer disc, a power supply, a single chip microcomputer and an environment sensing device. The nozzle part comprises a valve mechanism, an upper-layer circular plate and a guide pipe mechanism. The tentacle part comprises eight tentacles, eight steering engines and alower-layer circular plate, and the upper half parts of the tentacles are connected through elastic thin film. The bionic octopus robot has three kinds of swimming modes including a quick water sprayswimming mode, an underwater gliding swimming mode and a jellyfish-type swimming mode. The underwater robot is designed on the basis of the octopus swimming mode, the noise is low, the hiding performance is good, and the robot has multiple movement modes. The robot is suitable for achieving military applications such as underwater lurk, underwater detection, target tracking and anti-submarine andmeeting civil demands such as marine organism research and seabed exploration.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of underwater robots, in particular to a bionic octopus robot. Background technique [0002] With the country's increasing demand for naval power, the research and development of new underwater bionic robots has more important strategic significance. Traditional underwater unmanned vehicles are propelled by propellers, which are noisy and easy to be discovered by the enemy; traditional underwater unmanned vehicles travel at a slow speed, making it difficult to quickly and timely strike targets; The aircraft consumes a lot of energy, and it is difficult to achieve long-term underwater operations. [0003] The ocean is the origin of life and contains the mysteries of nature. People's demand for ocean exploration is also increasing. Humans still know very little about many marine organisms. However, the use of traditional underwater unmanned aerial vehicles to study marine life obviously has the following two problems...
