Group flying robot with distribution and self-assembly characteristics

Abstract

The invention discloses a group flying robot with distribution and self-assembly characteristics. The group flying robot comprises at least three single robots, wherein in the single robots, single forward peddle robots and single backward peddle robots are required to be simultaneously included; the single robots are respectively of a hollow cylindrical structure and are formed by coating casings with stands; and each single robot consists of a ground motion module, an active docking module, a passive abutting module, a sensing and positioning module, a flying power module and a control module which are respectively connected and arranged on the stand. The group flying robot disclosed by the invention has powerful ground omni-directional motion capability and can form various complex target configurations by self assembly and realize the integral flying control. The group flying robot has stronger environmental adaptability, control redundancy and survival ability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a group flying robot, which is composed of a plurality of independent group flying robots and has typical characteristics of distribution, self-assembly and modularization. Background technique [0002] By observing the group self-organization behavior of social creatures in nature, people realized the powerful functional scalability, flexibility and adaptability of group robots when they cooperate with each other to perform tasks in unstructured complex and changeable environments, and started the group robot theory and applied research. At present, the research field of swarm robots is mainly limited to the self-assembly, self-reconfiguration and motion control of ground-moving robots. For the research on flying robots, which are widely used in the fields of monitoring, detection, exploration, disaster relief and military affairs, most of them are still Staying at the control and application level of a single aircraft with a...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

At present, the research field of swarm robots is mainly limited to the self-assembly, self-reconfiguration and motion control of ground-moving robots. For the research on flying robots, which are widely used in the fields of monitoring, detection, exploration, disaster relief and military affairs, most of them are still Staying at the control and application level of a single aircraft with a fixed configuration, due to the limitation of its own structure, determines the simplification of its functions and cannot adapt to complex and changeable environments and tasks

Although few studies have involved coordination and formation control between multiple fixed-configuration aircraft, few studies have involved the theoretical and practical aspects of distributed, self-assembled, and modular swarm aircraft. Research

The good scalability, redundancy and robustness of swarm robots have not been effectively applied in the field of flying robots
