AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing star surface exploration robots are large and complex, making them unsuitable for exploring narrow caves.

Method used

A robot comprising a traversing mechanism and a cave exploration mechanism was designed. The cave exploration mechanism consists of a guide probe, a flexible pipe module, a telescopic control module, and a bending control module. It adopts a flexible pipe module and a rope-driven structure to achieve slender and flexible cave exploration.

Benefits of technology

It enables omnidirectional exploration of robots in narrow caves, enhances the exploration adaptability and operational flexibility in complex terrain, and has a compact structure that is easy to operate.

Abstract

The application relates to a robot for exploring a narrow cave of a star table, belonging to the technical field of space robots. In order to solve the defects that the existing star table exploring robot is large in size, complex in structure and cannot adapt to narrow caves, the robot comprises a travelling mechanism, a shell and a cave exploring mechanism, the shell is installed on the travelling mechanism and can be driven to move by the travelling mechanism, the front end of the shell is provided with a mounting cabin, one end of the cave exploring mechanism is installed in the mounting cabin, the other end can be extended out of or retracted into the mounting cabin, and the cave exploring mechanism can perform a bending action to complete an omnidirectional exploration task after the robot enters the narrow cave of the star table. The robot is mainly used for exploring the narrow cave of the star table.
