Unmanned boat retractable drone device and control method based on electroactive polymer

Abstract

The invention discloses an electro-active polymer based unmanned boat and unmanned aerial vehicle extension and retraction device and a control method. The electro-active polymer based unmanned boat and unmanned aerial vehicle extension and retraction device comprises an unmanned boat and an unmanned aerial vehicle, wherein an unmanned boat extension and retraction mechanism is arranged on the unmanned boat; and an unmanned aerial vehicle mechanism is arranged on the unmanned aerial vehicle. The elector-active polymer based unmanned boat and unmanned aerial vehicle extension and retraction device is characterized in that the unmanned boat extension and retraction mechanism comprises a base, a first positioning module, an electromagnet ring and an electro-active polymer deformation device;the unmanned aerial vehicle extension and retraction mechanism comprises a bracket, a second positioning module and a communication module; the second positioning module and the communication module are separately arranged on the bracket; and the lower end of the bracket is equipped with a landing circular ring. The electro-active polymer based unmanned boat and unmanned aerial vehicle extension and retraction device adopts circular ring contact, reduces collision and damages during retraction or extraction of the unmanned aerial vehicle, can relieve contact stress by adopting an electromagnetand a rubber material, prolongs the service life, an keeps the position and the pose between the unmanned boat and the unmanned aerial vehicle during retraction and extension of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and guarantees safety of the unmanned boat and the unmanned aerial vehicle. The electro-active polymer based unmanned boat and unmanned aerial vehicle extension and retraction device is simplein structure, is convenient in operation and is low in cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of recovery of unmanned boats and unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to an electroactive polymer-based unmanned boat retractable and unmanned aerial vehicle device and a control method. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the development of cooperative control technology for unmanned equipment, research institutions at home and abroad have launched cooperative control between unmanned boats and UAVs. However, due to the limited energy reserve of UAVs, they cannot adapt to long-term continuous work. Therefore, using unmanned boats as carriers, the working method of launching UAVs into the air and recovering them after reaching the designated area has become the mainstream research application. Among them, in order to ensure the safe and smooth deployment and recovery of drones, a set of equipment is needed to ensure the convenience and safety of drone docking. [0003] However, the devic...
