The invention discloses a bouncing
robot with a paper folding structure and a control method thereof, and relates to the technical field of soft robots, the bouncing
robot comprises a mounting plate, two groups of paper folding feet with layer number difference, a control
assembly and a driving
tendon, the
height difference formed by the layer number difference of the paper folding feet enables the mounting plate to incline forwards, and the driving
tendon penetrates through the paper folding feet and is connected with the control
assembly; the control
assembly can regulate and control winding and releasing of the driving tendons to achieve compression and energy release of the origami feet, and steering of the
robot can be completed through differential contraction of the driving tendons on the same side. Integrated precise control of bouncing and steering is achieved, meanwhile, the equipment is provided with an independent power supply and
wireless remote control system, and an anti-skid pad is additionally arranged on the sole. The robot solves the problems that a traditional paper folding robot is insufficient in motion performance, inflexible in steering, poor in
terrain adaptability and the like, rapid and continuous bouncing and precise steering can be achieved, the robot adapts to various unstructured terrains, and the robot can be widely applied to scenes such as
search and rescue detection, environment monitoring and narrow space inspection through a
wireless operation mode.
