Amphibious two-ball robot

Abstract

The invention provides an amphibious two-ball robot which comprises an axle, spherical shells fixed at the two ends of the axle, a driving mechanism capable of driving the spherical shells to move, abuoyancy force adjusting device, a carrying cabin and a solar panel, wherein the carrying cabin is fixed in the spherical shells; under the action of the buoyancy force adjusting device, the sphericalshells go underwater, float on the water surface or walk on the land; and under the action of the driving mechanism, the spherical shells carry the carrying cabin to walk underwater, on the water surface or on the land to finish corresponding operations. According to the amphibious two-ball robot, an underwater propulsor is combined with a rotary motor to enable the robot to move on the water surface and on the land; and the solar energy is utilized to provide continuous power for the robot so as to realize long-time and long-distance operation of the robot. The amphibious two-ball robot hasthe characteristics of not overturning, being flexible in veering and long in time of endurance and can be widely applied to tasks including field rescue, offshore landing, oceanographic research andinvestigation, seaway survey, marine fishery development and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an autonomous amphibious double-spherical robot capable of long-term operation on land, water surface and underwater. The invention belongs to the field of robot technology development. Background technique [0002] The broken wave zone, surf area and tidal flat zone where the ocean and land connect are the key areas of scientific research, environmental monitoring, survey sampling and military fields in recent years. Most robots can only move in a single environment. Land robots do not have the ability to navigate in water because they do not have underwater propulsion mechanisms, and most underwater robots do not have the ability to walk on land. Therefore, in order to complete tasks such as detection and operation in the land-water transition area, it is of great significance to study high-performance amphibious robots. [0003] At present, according to different propulsion principles, amphibious robots can be divided into...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Wheeled amphibious robots have less energy loss and high efficiency when moving, but they have high requirements on the environmental terrain and are not suitable for complex environments; legged amphibious robots generally include thighs, calves, ankles and other parts, which have strong obstacle surmounting capabilities, right? Regular terrain has good adaptability, but its movement performance in water is very poor; the mechanical structure of the snake-shaped amphibious robot is complicated, the production cost is high, and it is not easy to repair and maintain
