Soft-bodied robot with pneumatic structure for surveying ants and insects

Abstract

The invention discloses a soft-bodied robot with a pneumatic structure for surveying ants and insects, and relates to the technical field of soft-bodied robots. The soft-bodied robot specifically comprises a protective baffle, a buffer base and a pressure bearing panel, wherein bumping baffles are arranged at the front and back ends of the protective baffle, and fixing screws are installed in thebumping baffles; a connecting base is connected above the buffer base, and the buffer base is located above the protective baffle; and power shafts are arranged on the interiors of the front and backends of the connecting base, and an outer enclosure is arranged above the pressure bearing panel, and a motor is arranged in front of the outer enclosure. According to the soft-bodied robot with the pneumatic structure for surveying the ants and the insects, the structure is added, and meanwhile, the practicability of the whole device is greatly improved; the operational capacity of underground excavating is increased based on adsorbing and climbing, so that the device has a better application surface; and excavating equipment is driven by adopting a dual-motor, the rate of used time for excavating and surveying is increased, and the use requirement of people is effectively met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of soft robots, in particular to a soft robot with an inflatable structure for surveying ant insects. Background technique [0002] Scientists have drawn inspiration from nature to create robots that are far more flexible and versatile than their traditional metal counterparts. Scientists at Harvard University in the United States have created a new type of flexible robot with a body so soft that it can lean on like a worm. Creeps move in very tight spaces. The Harvard team, led by chemist George Whitesides, developed a small, four-legged creature inspired by squid, starfish, and other animals without strong bones. In recent years, scientists have been experimenting with squishy and sometimes odd-looking robotic design concepts, hoping to create a new type of robot that will be able to crawl into places that rely on human or human power. In an email interview, Matthew Walter, a roboticist at the Massachuset...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a soft robot with an inflatable structure for ant and insect survey, which solves the problem that the internal and external structures of the equipment proposed in the above-mentioned background technology are relatively simple and do not have a good performance during climbing. Adsorption capacity, and cannot be used for underground excavation survey operations, and the excavation rate of general soft robots is relatively underground, so it cannot effectively meet people's needs and other issues
