Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a frog-like swimming leg, in particular to a frog-like swimming leg using an under-actuated serial soft pneumatic bending module, which belongs to the field of robots. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology such as bionics, new materials, and robots, facing the increasing demand for exploration and survey of waters such as rivers and lakes, relevant researchers have carried out many bionic researches on different swimming organisms. As a kind of amphibious creature, frog can realize amphibious movement on land and water. It adopts the underwater propulsion method of leg structure and has strong environmental adaptability and mobility. Therefore, the study of bionic frog robot is not only an important research in the field of new bionics It also has good application prospects in civil or military search and rescue, survey monitoring and camouflage detection. [0003] The existing frog-like ...
