Abstract

The invention provides a robojelly driven by axially parallel annular shape memory alloy, and relates to the bionic robojelly. The robojelly aims to solve the problems that an existing bionic robojelly is complex in structure, small in the motion range, and greatly different from the bionic push behavior of a real medusa. The robojelly comprises a power source module, a control module and a communication module and further comprises a flexible shell, a cylindrical abdominal cavity, a rotating body base, the control module, the communication module and a plurality of annular memory alloy drive components. Each annular shape memory alloy drive component is composed of a shape memory alloy wire and an open annular flexible pipe wrapping the shape memory alloy wire, and the annular memory alloy drive components are embedded in the circumferential side face of the flexible shall respectively. The cylindrical abdominal cavity is connected with the rotating body base in a detachable and sealed mode, and the power source module, the control module and the communication module are arranged in the cylindrical abdominal cavity. The robojelly driven by the axially parallel annular shape memory alloy is used for manufacturing bionic medusa machines.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a bionic jellyfish robot, which belongs to the field of bionic jellyfish robots. Background technique [0002] As a typical prototype of jet propulsion, jellyfish is one of the oldest swimming organisms that exist on the earth, and it exists widely in various regions of the ocean. After long-term evolution, they can adapt to most complex ocean current environments, thanks to their unique hydrodynamic propulsion mechanism. Compared with other fishes with wavy body swimming or tail fin swing propulsion, jellyfish has higher transport efficiency and superior concealment performance. The jellyfish in the natural environment mainly rely on the contraction and elongation of radially distributed muscle fibers to drive the contraction and stretching of the flexible shell, and at the same time drive the movement of the water flow in the inner cavity of the shell. Driven by the reaction force of the water flow, it can complete the forwa...
