Problems solved by technology

The flexible / soft structure greatly enhances the robot's ability to adapt to the environment, but it is difficult to achieve a large variable stiffness ratio (that is, the ratio of maximum stiffness to minimum stiffness). For example, the variable stiffness ratio achieved by the Ohio State Soviet Navy in 2018 was only 20 ; In addition, the mechanical properties of soft materials decay quickly and are sensitive to environmental temperature and humidity, which is the bottleneck for the current engineering application of soft robots

Abstract

The invention discloses a modularized space multi-stable configuration-varying robot. The modularized space multi-stable configuration-varying robot comprises a plurality of module units and a rope, wherein each module unit is internally provided with a through hole, the rope sequentially penetrates through the module units to connect the plurality of module units together to form the modularizedspace multi-stable configuration-varying robot, the module units comprise shells, driving devices, cam devices, push rod devices, push rod grooves and rope guide grooves, the driving devices are arranged at the inner bottoms of the shells, the cam devices are arranged at the upper ends of the driving devices, the driving devices are used for driving the cam devices to rotate, the push rod devicesare arranged at the upper ends of the cam devices, the cam devices drive the push rod devices to move up and down, the push rod grooves and the rope guide grooves are formed inside the shells, the push rod devices are inserted into the push rod grooves, and the rope is arranged in the rope guide grooves. In the aspect of the configuration varying capacity of the same rank, compared with other configuration-varying robots, the modularized space multi-stable configuration-varying robot has the characteristics that structure is obviously simple, and the cost is also reduced accordingly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of robots, in particular to a modular space multi-stable configuration-changing robot. Background technique [0002] Robots that can adapt to changing environments, complete multiple tasks, and serve multiple types of objects have great application value in fields such as space exploration, future battlefield support, underwater operations, and medical rehabilitation. The ability to change configurations and the ability to change the robot's stiffness quickly and in a wide range under different configurations is the key to realizing the characteristics of the above-mentioned robots. [0003] The research on the configuration-changing robot can be roughly divided into the following three branches: 1. Starting from the kinematics of the mechanism, the degree of freedom and motion mode of the mechanism can be changed by using the structural topology change of the mechanism. Representative achievements include: the metam...
