Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of soft underwater robots and particularly relates to an all-soft underwater robot driven by chemical exergonic reaction and an experimental platform thereof. The all-soft underwater robot is characterized in that an underwater robot body includes a variable stiffness head, a variable stiffness body and an arc tail which are connected in sequence, the variable stiffness head is provided with an air pipe connection, the variable stiffness body is provided with flexible wings, the arc tail is provided with a spray hole and a transmission hole, a reaction chamber, a flexible drive film and a water-storing spray chamber which are connected in sequence are included in the underwater robot body, the flexible drive film is provided with a flexible joint, and the flexible joint is provided with flexible bones connected with the flexible wings. Compared with the prior art, the all-soft underwater robot has very high speed of chemical exergonic reaction, output large force and can recover quickly, and the chemical exergonic reaction as a driving method to the all-soft underwater robot can combine with the specific soft-material robot structure such that the industry problems are solved, such as transient speed change of underwater equipment to avoid obstacles, transient speed for striking, and quick startup.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of underwater soft robots, and in particular relates to a fully soft underwater robot driven by a chemical release energy reaction and an experimental platform thereof. Background technique [0002] The application of soft robots made of all soft materials is of great significance in the soft robot industry. The advantages of all-soft robots lie in their light weight, high degree of freedom, and strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. However, all-soft robots are more difficult to design and manufacture because of the strong nonlinearity of material deformation and the lack of driving methods. The world's first all-soft robot was proposed by Harvard University in 2016, which provided an important research branch for the field of soft robotics. However, the existing all-soft robots in the world have slow response speed, small output force and small range of motion. question. [0003] The chemical discharge...
