Worm-imitating soft robot

Abstract

The invention provides a worm-imitating soft robot, which relates to the technical field of robots. The robot comprises a unit joint, a main body structure and an outer protective sleeve, wherein the unit joint comprises a central spindle, sleeves are slidably arranged at the two ends of the central spindle, a plurality of supporting rods arrayed in the circumferential direction of the sleeves are hinged to the two sleeves, the free ends of the supporting rods of the two sleeves are hinged pairwise, and the central spindle is provided with a power assembly independently driving the two sleeves to slide, a telescopic groove is formed in the side, in the axis direction, of the center main shaft and matched with the end, on the opposite side, of the center main shaft; the main body structure comprises a plurality of unit joints which are connected in sequence, the adjacent unit joints are matched in a telescopic mode through telescopic grooves, the end portions of the unit joints in the telescopic grooves are connected with the sleeves on the same sides of the telescopic grooves, and the end portions of the unit joints in the telescopic grooves are connected with the sleeves on the same sides of the telescopic grooves in a synchronous sliding fit mode; and the outer protective sleeve is arranged on the main body structure in a sleeving manner, and the outer protective sleeve has flexibility. The variety of bionic soft robots is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a worm-like soft robot. Background technique [0002] A robot is a common name for an automatic control machine (Robot), which includes all machines that simulate human behavior or thoughts and simulate other creatures (such as robot dogs, robot cats, etc.). There are still many classifications and controversies about the definition of robots in a narrow sense, and some computer programs are even called robots. In contemporary industry, a robot refers to a man-made machine device that can perform tasks automatically to replace or assist humans in their work. The ideal high-simulation robot is the product of advanced integrated cybernetics, mechatronics, computer and artificial intelligence, materials science and bionics, and the scientific community is currently researching and developing in this direction. [0003] Bionic soft robot is a kind of research on the characteristics ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

At present, there are few types of bionic soft robots on the market, and their structures are not perfect. They are less effective when used in fields such as bioengineering, disaster relief, industrial production, medical services, and exploration and surveying.
