Embodiment Construction

[0028] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. It should be emphasized that the following description is only exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the invention and its application.

[0029] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being “fixed” or “disposed on” another element, it may be directly on the other element or be indirectly on the other element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element. In addition, the connection can be used for fixation as well as for coupling or communication.

[0030] It is to be understood that the terms "length", "width", "top", "bottom", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top" , "bottom", "inner", "outer" and other indicated orientations or positional relationships are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in ...

Abstract

A miniature hopping robot capable of controlling the hopping direction comprises a body structure, a plurality of leg structures, a plurality of locking structures and a driver, the body structure isconnected with the leg structures, the locking structures are connected with the leg structures and allow relative rotation between the locking structures and the leg structures, and each locking structure comprises an electrode layer or a magnetic material layer, and can be locked on a ground base plate via a static absorption force or a magnetic force, the driver is connected with a body structure through a connecting structure, is made of a material with a shape memory function, and generates elastic potential energy due to change of a rigidity coefficient when being electrified; when the locking structures are released, elastic potential energy is instantaneously released to the leg structures to be converted into hopping starting energy of the robot, and control over the hopping direction of the robot is achieved by controlling the release time sequence of the multiple locking structures. The robot can control the hopping direction of the robot, the obstacle crossing capacity is extremely high, and meanwhile hopping control is very flexible.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of micro-robots, in particular to a micro-jumping robot with a controllable jumping direction. Background technique [0002] The progress of material science and the development of micro-nano processing technology provide the possibility for the design and manufacture of micro-robots. Due to its miniaturization and light weight, micro-robots can break through the limitations of traditional large-scale robots and can be used in many fields such as disaster relief, reconnaissance, and detection. In the ruins after the earthquake, micro-robots are equipped with various sensors, shuttle through narrow gaps, search for trapped people while exploring terrain structures, and assist search and rescue personnel to complete rescue work; micro-robots can also become maintainers of gas pipeline systems , enter the pipeline to check the operation status, and avoid potential safety hazards caused by gas leakage; a large number of ...
