Abstract

The invention provides a wall-climbing robot based on dielectric elastomer drivers and electrostatic adsorption and a control method. The wall-climbing robot comprises the two dielectric elastomer drivers, four electrostatic adsorption foot soles, universal hinges and a retainer, wherein each dielectric elastomer driver comprises a front end cover, a back end cover, dielectric elastomer films andflexible electrodes; each electrostatic adsorption foot sole consists of a dielectric layer, an electrode layer and a protective layer; the two ends of each dielectric elastomer driver are connectedwith the electrostatic adsorption foot soles through the universal hinges; and the two dielectric elastomer drivers are arranged side by side and are connected through one retainer in the middle. Thewall-climbing robot is simple in structure, light in weight, small in size, large in load, strong in flexibility and strong in environmental adaptability.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a wall-climbing robot, in particular to a wall-climbing robot based on a dielectric elastomer driver and electrostatic adsorption. In particular, robots that can enter some narrow spaces or dangerous environments and complete tasks that are difficult for humans to complete, such as pipeline detection, bridge detection, and high-rise building cleaning. Background technique [0002] As a robot that can crawl on a vertical plane, the wall-climbing robot has important application value in the fields of reconnaissance, environmental detection, and cleaning. Wall-climbing robots usually need to have two functions of adsorption and movement. At present, the adsorption principles commonly used by wall-climbing robots include magnetic adsorption and vacuum adsorption. These two kinds of adsorption have the characteristics of large adsorption force and convenient control, but magnetic adsorption can only be used to adsorb ferro...
