Abstract

The invention discloses a modular reconfigurable robot. The modular reconfigurable robot is composed of a bracket module, joint modules, a control module, wheel foot modules and auxiliary modules. The bracket module is used for overall supporting the robot. The joint modules are used for achieving the effect of connecting all the modules of the robot. A motor is designed in each joint module and provides power drive. The auxiliary modules are modules, for example, foot modules for a hexapod robot, designed special for robots with specific functions. The wheel foot modules are used for achieving the supporting and movement functions of a walking or wheeled robot. The control module is used for achieving the autonomous control function of the robot. According to the modular reconfigurable robot, a legged human-shaped robot, a wheeled vehicle-shaped robot, a bionic hexapod robot and robots of other structures are reconfigured mainly by the modules according to the task requirements, and modularization and reconfiguration of the robot structure are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of reconfigurable robots, in particular to a modular reconfigurable robot. This robot is composed of several simple modules. These modules can be freely rotated and reconfigured, and can be reconfigured into different structures according to different tasks. The robot makes the robot more versatile and has a wider scope of application. Background technique [0002] A modular reconfigurable robot is a robot that can be reorganized into different robots according to specific task requirements. The robot is composed of several simple structural modules, and different robots after reorganization have different functions, can adapt to different environments and complete different tasks. The robot not only has a profound impact on the modification and development of industrial robots, but also is suitable for teaching and scientific research. Although some robots in the prior art are also composed of a large numbe...
