Novel self-deformation modular soft robot of high adaptability

Abstract

The invention provides a novel self-deformation modular soft robot of high adaptability and relates to the robot. The problems that an existing rigid modular robot is large in rigidity, difficult to deform and poor in adaptability, the existing soft robot is either complex in cavity but singular in function or in need of manual operation so that a module can be disconnected and reconfigurability can be realized are solved. The novel self-deformation modular soft robot comprises an elastic deformation body and two connection pieces, wherein the two connection pieces are arranged at the two opposite ends of the elastic deformation body correspondingly. Each connection piece comprises a shell cover, a shell, a spherical magnet, an elastic fixing body, an elastic connection piece body and an air pipe external connection piece. Shell inner cavities are provided with the spherical magnets. The shell covers, the shells and the elastic fixing bodies are buried into inner cavities of the elastic connection piece bodies, the elastic fixing bodies are fixedly connected with the elastic connection piece bodies, the elastic fixing bodies and the elastic connection piece bodies are provided with ventilating pipes communicating with the shells, and the elastic deformation body is fixedly connected with the elastic connection piece bodies. The soft robot is fabricated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a robot, in particular to a novel self-deformable modular soft robot with high adaptability. Background technique [0002] Robots have been widely used in military, industrial, scientific exploration, disaster relief and many other fields. Traditional robots are generally composed of rigid modules connected by kinematic pairs, and each kinematic pair provides one or more translational degrees of freedom or rotational degrees of freedom. The movement combination of all kinematic pairs forms the working space of the robot end effector. This kind of robot has the advantage of precise movement, but the rigidity of the structure makes it less adaptable to the environment. Channels with complex dimensions or shapes, these shortcomings restrict the application of rigid robots in certain fields, such as military reconnaissance, for the sake of concealment, it is hoped that reconnaissance robots can drill through small and complex-shap...
