Multi-arm soft robot

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of soft robots, in particular to a multi-arm soft robot. The robot comprises a main body, an auxiliary part and a fixed base; the main body comprises threeparts including a front part, a middle part and a rear part, the auxiliary part comprises a gas pump and a single-chip microcomputer control unit, and the gas pump and the single-chip microcomputer control unit are installed on the fixed base. By means of the soft robot, the front head part of the robot can be controlled to arrive at a specified position, the robot can penetrate through a narrow-slit area by changing the diameter, different kinds of work can be completed by carrying different devices, and the robot is high in environmental adaptability and capable of carrying out multiple operations. The soft robot can conduct rescue in ruins after an earthquake, and can even have great influences on the field of medical care, industrial assembly and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of soft robots, in particular to a multi-arm soft robot. Background technique [0002] Earthquake is a terrible natural disaster, which has caused huge losses to human beings. How to quickly rescue the trapped people buried under the ruins after the earthquake is an important issue that all countries are studying. Among them, the development of equipment suitable for rescuing trapped people in ruins is the focus of current research. At present, most of the rescue equipment is of rigid body structure and the volume is too large, which has extremely poor adaptability to the ruins environment, which greatly affects the rescue efficiency. Due to their high flexibility and environmental adaptability, soft robots can complete tasks that are difficult for rigid equipment in complex working environments, especially in rescuing survivors in ruins. Soft robots have natural and unique advantages. The Chinese inventio...

The Chinese invention patent with the application number 201610704442.3 discloses an air-controlled airbag-type soft manipulator. The soft manipulator can control the air pump to inflate and pump multiple airbags through a single-chip microcomputer according to the environmental conditions, so that the whole body can be bent and contracted. High bending characteristics, and at the same time, more expansion functions can be realized by adding parts at the front end of the robotic arm, so the soft robotic arm can be used in post-earthquake ruin rescue. However, due to the structural limitations of the soft robotic arm, the carried parts can only be A single one can only perform a single operation, and cannot carry out more comprehensive work in the ruins

The Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN104814792A discloses a detachable multi-arm soft robotic arm device. The soft robotic arm device controls the bending of the main arm and the functional telescopic sub-arm through the traction line. The functional telescopic sub-arms can work together, but The soft robotic arm can only bend once, and has the weakness of not being able to overcome obstacles
