An octopus robot for ocean detection

Abstract

The invention provides an octopus robot for ocean detection, comprising: a head part, a tentacle part, and a suction cup part. The head part consists of a hollow hard shell part, a two-way propeller drive part, a vision part, a cross steering gear, etc. The tentacle part is composed of eight flexible and controllable tentacles, and each tentacle is composed of a multi-section controllable airbag group, and the tentacle can swing at any angle by controlling the pressure of the airbag. Each tentacle surface is fixed with multiple suction cup parts, which are used to fix itself when hovering or stationary, and the suction cups on each tentacle are controlled by an independent air circuit. The invention is a marine detection robot designed with reference to the body shape of an octopus, and can be used for marine equipment detection and inspection, underwater reconnaissance, marine environment research, underwater survey and other applications.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of underwater robots, and in particular relates to an octopus robot for ocean detection. Background technique [0002] The ocean accounts for 70% of the earth's surface, and there are countless mysteries and resources in the ocean. With the increasing efforts of human beings to develop marine resources, more and more marine development equipment has been put into the sea. Various complex sea conditions will also cause various problems during operation, and they need to be inspected and repaired in time, but the sea blocks people's need to observe and understand the conditions of various equipment at any time. [0003] The existing marine inspection equipment has complex structure, single function, high requirements for process control, and high input cost, which restricts people's need to detect the condition of marine equipment. The higher the risk factor, the higher the requirements for testing equipment. But coun...

[0002] The ocean accounts for 70% of the earth's surface area, and there are countless mysteries and resources in the ocean. With the increasing efforts of human beings to develop marine resources, more and more ocean development equipment is put into the sea. These equipment need to face various problems. There are various complex sea conditions, and there will be various problems in the operation process, and they need to be inspected and repaired in time, but the sea blocks people's needs to observe and understand the status of various equipment at any time

[0003] Existing marine testing equipment has complex structures, single functions, high requirements for process control, and high input costs, which restrict people's demand for detecting the status of marine equipment. At the same time, the more complex the structure of marine equipment, the The higher the risk factor, the higher the requirements for testing equipment
