Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a single-degree-of-freedom joint mechanism driven by dual pneumatic artificial muscles, which can be used for the leg joints of quadruped bionic robots, belongs to the technical field of bionic robots, and has the advantages of large joint motion range, fast motion speed, and good flexibility. Background technique

[0002] With the deepening of bionic robot research, research hotspots have expanded from robot walking to high-speed motion (such as jumping and running). The high-speed movement of the robot can greatly improve the mobility of the robot, allowing the robot to overcome obstacles. This puts forward higher requirements for the robot mechanism design.

[0003] Analyzing the motion drive mode of bionic robots, most of them are driven by motors at present. The motor drive mode has the advantages of relatively simple control and accurate position and speed control. However, since the motor is a rigid component, it cannot...
