The invention discloses a variable configuration biomimetic quadruped
robot and belongs to the field of
robotics, theory of mechanism, and
bionics. A physical mechanical structure of the variable configuration biomimetic quadruped
robot includes four biomimetic one leg structures and a main body. Each biomimetic one leg structure includes four
degrees of freedom, that is to say, includes four joints of the first hip joint, the second hip joint, the
thigh joint and the shank joint. The first hip joint is directly connected with the main body, and the
joint rotation shaft of the first hip jointis perpendicular to the main body plane. The first hip joint is combined with the
thigh joint and the shank joint to move so that the
processing state like
insect crawling can be achieved. The secondhip joint is connected with the first hip joint, and the
joint rotation shaft is in parallel with the main body plane. The second hip joint is combined with the
thigh joint and the shank joint to moveso that the
processing state like mammalian walking can be achieved. According to the variable configuration biomimetic quadruped
robot, two
processing states of
insect crawling and mammalian walkingcan be switched freely; the structure is not complex, so that higher function requirements can be achieved, and higher environmental adaptability can be achieved.
