Problems solved by technology

[0002] In existing soft robots, most of the connectors are rigid, which increases the weight of the software module. Due to the gravity of the connectors, the curvature of the software module itself is increased.
At the same time, most of the software modules require the participation of operators to complete the structural deformation and cannot realize the self-reconfiguration function

Abstract

A soft modular robot with self-reconfiguration function, which relates to a soft robot, which includes a driving body and two clutch connectors; the driving body is a soft body with at least three air cavities evenly distributed along the ring direction, All the ends of the air chambers extending on the two ends of the driving body are open ends, each air chamber is communicated with an air hole, and the two ends of the driving body are respectively connected with a clutch connecting body. The invention has a simple structure and a reasonable design. The modular robot has motion and behavior capabilities, good adaptability to the environment and friendliness to operators, and can perform bionic motion or complete various tasks.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a soft robot, in particular to a soft module robot with self-reconfiguration function. Background technique [0002] In the existing soft robots, most of the connectors are rigid, which increases the weight of the software module, and the curvature of the software module itself is increased due to the gravity of the connectors. At the same time, most of the software modules require the participation of operators to complete the structural deformation, and cannot realize the self-reconfiguration function. Contents of the invention [0003] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the invention provides a soft module robot with compact structure, good adaptability and self-reconfiguration function. [0004] Technical scheme of the present invention is: [0005] A soft module robot with self-reconfiguration function, which includes a driving body and two clutch connectors; [0006] The driving body is a soft bo...
