Problems solved by technology

However, most of the existing facial expression robots use motor drive (such as the disclosed invention patent CN202010169291.2), which causes defects such as motion faults and stiff expressions, which cannot reach the degree of realistic anthropomorphism, and the motor drive itself has Due to the disadvantages of high energy consumption, high noise, heavy mass, space occupation, and difficult control and maintenance, it is not suitable for the light and flexible working environment of expression robots.
The expression robot based on the gel driver (CN202010194085.7) proposed by the applicant before has problems such as low anthropomorphic expression, insufficient expression and low robustness when the drive module unit structure works in the horizontal direction.

Abstract

The invention discloses an electroactive polymer driver and an expression robot with same. The expression robot comprises an eye mechanism, a mouth mechanism, a neck mechanism and a robot shell body, wherein the robot shell body sleeves the eye mechanism, the mouth mechanism and the neck mechanism, the eye mechanism is arranged on the mouth mechanism, the mouth mechanism is arranged on the neck mechanism, and electroactive polymer drivers are arranged inside the eye mechanism, the mouth mechanism and the neck mechanism correspondingly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of robots, and in particular relates to an electroactive polymer driver and an expression robot thereof. Background technique [0002] With the development of society, intelligent robots have begun to break away from the shape and limitations of the original industrial manufacturing robots, and have developed into more anthropomorphic appearances, and their functions and intelligence have also increased, which can better meet the needs of various application environments, thus providing robots Technology research and development has opened up a broader space for development. Among them, the humanoid facial expression robot is one of the hot topics in the current intelligent robot research. It is predicted that intelligent robots will enter thousands of households in the future, so it is particularly important to endow robots with emotions and interact with them vividly. Therefore, the research on humanoid ...
