Spherical-hexapod shape shifting robot

Abstract

The invention discloses a spherical-hexapod shape shifting robot comprising outer supporting mechanisms, a rotating mechanism and robot leg parts. Each outer supporting mechanism comprises a base plate, a U-shaped frame, a steering engine and a spherical segment. The rotating mechanism comprises a steering disc, a driving mechanism and rotating pieces. The rotating pieces are distributed along the circumferential direction of the driving mechanism and connected with the driving mechanism. The driving mechanism drives the rotating pieces to stretch or retract. Each robot leg part comprises a steering engine, a connecting frame and a foot. The outer supporting mechanisms are fixedly connected with the rotating mechanism. The robot leg parts are distributed along the circumferential direction of the rotating mechanism and fixedly connected with the rotating pieces. The rotating mechanism and the robot leg parts are used for forming a hexapod robot body. The rotating mechanism and the outer supporting mechanism are used for forming a spherical robot body. By means of the outer supporting mechanisms with the spherical segments, the rotating mechanism which can stretch to be in a segment shape and retract to be in a disc shape and robot leg part structures provided with the steering engines and the feet and arranged on the rotating mechanism, the hybrid robot capable of shifting into the spherical robot body and the hexapod robot body is formed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of robots, in particular to a spherical and leg-shaped composite deformation robot. Background technique [0002] Robots are an important intelligent automation equipment, especially mobile robot systems, which are no longer limited by the relatively fixed working environment like traditional industrial robots, can move within a certain area, and can even complete many complex tasks instead of humans. However, the traditional mobile robot has a single movement mode and can only adapt to specific environments. For example, the legged robot has strong movement ability in a rugged environment, and the ball robot has better movement effect on a flat ground. Therefore, the present invention combines two types of mobile robots. Based on the advantages of the robot, a new type of composite robot is proposed. This robot combines the advantages of the legged robot and the ball robot. It is equipped with a six-axis attitude sen...
