Abstract

The invention provides a driving device for a magnetic soft robot imitating the motion of an inchworm, comprising: a permanent magnet, a linear motor, and a lifting platform; the lifting platform is used to carry the magnetic soft robot; the permanent magnet is placed on the linear motor; Below the platform, the permanent magnet can be driven to move along its guide rail; the permanent magnet provides a driving magnetic field under the magnetic soft robot; the magnetic moments of the magnetic particles inside the magnetic soft robot are distributed symmetrically around the center; The relative position of the magnetic soft robot regulates the size and direction of the dynamic magnetic field under the soft robot. The internal magnetic moments on both sides of the soft robot are affected by asymmetrical magnetic torque. Considering the force situation comprehensively, one foot is fixed on the ground, and the other foot is fixed on the ground. The lateral foot is dragged or lifted and moved forward, achieving a motion pattern that mimics the "push‑pull" walking gait of the inchworm. The magnetic soft robot of the invention has a fast movement speed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of magnetically controlled bionic soft robots, and more particularly relates to a driving device for a magnetic soft robot that imitates the motion of an inchworm. Background technique [0002] Compared with traditional rigid robots, soft robots have excellent flexibility, flexibility and unlimited degrees of freedom, which are suitable for complex unstructured environments and safe human-computer interaction, and have attracted widespread attention in the fields of biomedicine and bionics. Because the crawling mechanism of the inchworm is simple and easy to implement, a lot of research on the inchworm-like soft robot has been derived. So far, typical control strategies include pneumatic, hydraulic, shape memory alloy, light, voltage, magnetic field control, etc. Among them, magnetic field control is favored for its advantages of non-contact, strong penetrability, and high energy conversion efficiency. [0003] At th...
