Abstract

The invention discloses a flexible robot driven by piezoelectricity, which is composed of six driving feet connected to a cross-shaped PVC film, and crossed shape memory alloy springs and shape memory alloy wires are respectively arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the PVC film. Using the vibration of piezoelectric bimorphs under the action of sine and cosine voltages, by exciting different piezoelectric bimorph groups, the robot can move forward, turn left, and turn right in a plane; use shape memory alloy springs to heat and shrink to return to the original length , so that the corresponding front legs, middle legs or rear legs of the robot are lifted, and at the same time, the shape memory alloy wire is used to heat and return to the original shape of the straight line, so that the corresponding front legs, middle legs or rear legs of the robot are dropped to realize the obstacle-crossing function of the robot. The invention combines the advantages of fast response and precise positioning of the piezoelectric drive and large deformation degree of the shape memory alloy, and realizes the plane movement and obstacle-crossing functions of the robot.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of ultrasound, the field of piezoelectric technology and the field of flexible robots, in particular to a flexible robot driven by piezoelectricity and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] For special applications such as precision medicine, military reconnaissance, and danger elimination, as well as the high-precision operation requirements of robots in dangerous, narrow spaces, and other variable environments, micro mobile robots benefit from the advantages of light weight, small size, and high mobility. It has broad application prospects in the fields of detection, micro-electromechanical assembly, micro-surgery, bioengineering, optical engineering, and distributed sensor networks. The piezoelectric actuator has the advantages of light weight, low noise, high displacement accuracy, large output torque, fast response, wide operating frequency and low power consumption, and has become an im...
