The application belongs to the technical field of robots, and discloses a scalable amphibious
robot driven by a
paddle wheel, which comprises a shell, four wheel shafts rotatably connected to the shell and distributed on the left and right sides of the shell, four independent driving mechanisms arranged in the shell, four driving mechanisms connected with the four wheel shafts to drive the wheels to rotate independently, a scalable
paddle wheel mechanism contained in the wheel mechanism, the scalable
paddle wheel comprising a wheel, an independent small wheel body, a plurality of paddle plates and a scalable mechanism; the scalable mechanism is used for the expansion and contraction of the paddle plates of the
paddle wheel, so that the paddle plates of the
paddle wheel can be retracted into the wheel and form an integral whole with the wheel, or be expanded into a
paddle wheel mechanism and be used for
rowing. The single power driving
system is combined with the scalable paddle wheel structure, so that the rigidity and flexibility of the hub are ensured when the amphibious
robot runs on land, and the energy utilization efficiency is improved when the amphibious
robot sails on water.
