Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a soft robot based on magnetorheological fluid and a driving method of the soft robot. The soft robot based on the magnetorheological fluid comprises a soft mechanical arm and at least three flow channels which are located in the soft mechanical arm and evenly distributed in the circumferential direction, and the flow channels are filled with the magnetorheological fluid. And the liquid supply mechanism is filled with magnetorheological fluid. The driving method comprises the following steps that S1, pressure is independently applied to magnetorheological fluid in different flow channels, and directional bending or stretching and retracting of the soft mechanical arm are achieved; and S2, when the soft mechanical arm reaches a designated position, an external magnetic field is applied, the rigidity of the magnetorheological fluid affected by the magnetic field is increased, and setting and maintaining of the preset action of the soft mechanical arm are achieved. The system has the advantages of being low in energy consumption, easy to control, fast in response, high in integration degree and large in bearing capacity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a magneto-rheological fluid-based soft robot and a driving method thereof. Background technique [0002] Due to its multi-degree-of-freedom, high compliance and high robustness, soft robots have shown broad application prospects in industrial production, medical rehabilitation, service, detection and other fields. However, since the matrix materials of current soft robots are mainly soft materials, this leads to theoretically unlimited degrees of freedom of soft robots, and it is difficult to precisely control the output displacement and output force. [0003] Structures with actively controlled stiffness allow multifunctional interactions between soft machines and their environments. On the one hand, the high stiffness makes possible the simultaneous output of high precision, high speed and high force of the robot. On the other hand, with low stiffness, the robot can achieve hi...
