Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of flexible robots, in particular to a granular-material-clogging-based hybrid driving rigidity-controllable continuum robot. The robot comprises a plurality of identical single continuum units which are connected end to end in series; each single continuum unit comprises a flexible supporting outer barrel which is provided with multiple flexible supporting outer barrel through holes and is internally coaxially provided with a plastic inner pipeline; a plurality of separation plates are arranged in an annular zone between each flexible supporting outer barrel inner wall and the outer wall of the corresponding plastic inner pipeline, so that each annular zone is divided into multiple sealing cavities which are filled with granular materials; manual pneumatic muscles are inserted in the plastic inner pipelines; upper and lower sealing end covers are provided with upper and lower steel wire passage holes as well as upper and lower sealing end cover through holes; the lower sealing end covers are provided with manual pneumatic muscle drafting holes and sealing cavity drafting holes; and the upper sealing end covers, the flexible supporting outer barrels and the lower sealing end covers are integrally connected by steel wire ropes. The granular-material-clogging-based hybrid driving rigidity-controllable continuum robot is high in supporting rigidity, wide in moving range and accurate in positioning precision.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of flexible robots, in particular to a hybrid-driven controllable stiffness continuum robot based on granular blockage. Background technique [0002] Continuum robot is a current research hotspot. The continuum robot is made of soft or semi-soft materials, has a spineless flexible structure, has a continuously deformable body and more degrees of freedom. Compared with traditional rigid robots, continuum robots do not have discrete joints and rigid links, have excellent bending performance, and have good adaptability to unstructured environments and narrow and restricted working environments, such as search and rescue in narrow workspaces , minimally invasive surgery, etc. [0003] Foreign scholars have done a lot of research on continuum robots. Professor Walker and Gravagne of Clemson University in the United States have conducted a lot of research on the structure, algorithm and motion control technolog...
