Problems solved by technology

[0003] Reconfigurable robots are usually obtained by combining the main module and multiple basic modules. The appearance and structure of the multiple basic modules are the same, and they are all provided with connecting surfaces to realize the combination. However, the user cannot verify in the process of combining the modular robot Whether the combination structure is correct will bring a lot of repetitive assembly work to the user, resulting in a poor user experience

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of modular robots, in particular to a modular robot control method and system. According to the modular robot control method and system, a user can conduct configuration assembling at will and design control information for controlling the assembled configuration to execute actions, and using convenience of a modular robot is greatly improved; and the design space of the modular robot is enlarged, and the modular robot is applicable to more scenes.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to the field of modular robots, in particular to a control method and system for a modular robot. 【Background technique】 [0002] Robots have been widely used in the fields of life and industry, such as in teaching to exercise students' pioneering thinking ability, such as in automatic production for welding, spraying, assembly, handling and other operations. Although the robot has great flexibility and flexibility as an execution system, it can complete different tasks, but the existing robots often have only one main function for specific purposes and occasions, and the degrees of freedom and configuration are fixed. Changes, lack of functional scalability and configuration reconfiguration. In addition, it costs a lot to develop a specific robot for each field and each application, which seriously restricts the popularization and application of robots. Therefore, reconfigurable robots came into being. [0003] Reconfigurabl...
