[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, the windbreak board 32 consists of an upper side, a lower side, and a middle plane. A solar panel is laid on the outer side of the middle plane, and four protrusions are attached to the inner side of the middle plane, namely the upper left protrusion 321, the lower left protrusion 322, the upper right protrusion 323, and the lower right protrusion 324.

[0040] The control and analysis module 7 includes a motion control module, a power management module, a meteorological analysis module, and a positioning and navigation module. The motion control module is further composed of three main modules: a walking control module, a leg sled switching control module, and a windproof sandboard position adjustment module.
[0041] The power management module is electrically connected to the rechargeable power supply 8 and distributes the power to the hip joint motor 18, thigh motor 20, calf motor 23, and electric push rod 32 in the foot-skirt hybrid leg 4; the upper left electric push rod 33, lower left electric push rod 34, upper right electric push rod 35, and lower right electric push rod 36 in the windproof and sandproof mechanism 3; as well as other modules in the five-element meteorological sensor 5, lidar 6, and control and analysis module 7. At the same time, it can also store the electrical energy generated by the solar panels on the windproof and sandproof plate 31 into the rechargeable power supply 8 to achieve real-time replenishment of battery energy.
[0042] The meteorological analysis module processes and analyzes the data on wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure transmitted by the five-element meteorological sensor 5 to obtain the current weather conditions in a timely manner. Based on the current weather conditions, it predicts future weather trends, plans routes in advance, avoids extreme weather such as strong winds and sandstorms, and enables the motion control module to make corresponding adjustments and responses based on the current weather conditions.
[0043] The positioning and navigation module can provide real-time feedback on the robot's actual position on the pre-planned path map and make timely path adjustments based on the comparison between the actual position and the set path. At the same time, by processing the data transmitted from the LiDAR 6 and the depth camera 10, it can obtain the environmental and terrain conditions of the robot's location in real time, thereby enabling the motion control module to make corresponding adjustments and responses to ensure that the robot can successfully overcome and pass through the area ahead, or adjust the robot's travel path to avoid the area ahead and detour.
[0044] When the robot is working in stepping motion mode, when the robot is working on flat ground, uphill, or rugged terrain, the leg sled switching control module controls the leg sled switching mechanism to switch the hybrid leg 4 to a legged walking state. In this state, the leg is specifically configured such that the sled 30 is folded up and attached to the rear surface of the lower leg 28, and the hoof 29 replaces the sled 30 as the robot's ground support component. Then, the walking control module in the control analysis module 7 controls the left front leg, left hind leg, right front leg, and right hind leg to walk in a diagonal gait.
[0045] The following is combined Figures 6 to 11 The principles and working processes of various robot motion modes are explained.
[0046] When the robot is working in gliding motion mode, when the robot is working on a flat downhill surface, the leg sled switching control module of the control analysis module 7 controls the leg sled switching mechanism to switch the foot-sled hybrid leg 4 to a sled-type travel state. In this state, the leg is specifically: the sled plate 30 is extended on the back of the lower leg 28 in a parallel form to the ground. The sled plate 30 replaces the hoof 29 as the ground contact support part of the robot. Then, relying on gravitational potential energy, the robot slides down the slope. At the same time, the roller 37 in the wind and sand mechanism 3 is in the ground contact state, which can help the robot glide.
[0047] The robot's gliding and turning function is achieved by adjusting the angle of the hip joint motors 18 of the four legs: left front, left rear, right front, and right rear. For example, when the robot turns left, the walking control module of the control analysis module 7 controls the hip joint motors 18 of the four legs to swing to the left at a certain angle. At the same time, the windproof sand plate position adjustment module of the analysis module 7 controls the windproof sand plate mechanism 3, so that the rollers 37 distributed on the left and right sides of the body are distributed with the left side lower and the right side higher, to help the robot glide and turn.
[0048] The robot's gliding braking function is achieved by controlling the thigh motors 20 and calf motors 23 of the four legs (left front, left rear, right front, and right rear) through the walking control module, thereby changing the angle of the skids 30 relative to the ground. Specifically, by changing the angle of the thigh motors 20 and calf motors 23 of the four legs, the skids 30 of the left front and right front legs tilt forward at a certain angle relative to the ground, and the skids 30 of the left rear and right rear legs tilt backward at a certain angle relative to the ground, thereby preventing the robot from continuing to glide.
[0049] When the robot switches between stepping and gliding modes, the transition is mainly divided into two phases: a support switching phase and a crouching phase. Support switching is achieved through a diagonal support and diagonal switching method. For example, first, the left front and right rear legs are raised, and then the left rear and right rear legs touch the ground for support. Then, the leg-sled switching control module in control analysis module 7 controls the leg-sled switching mechanism, causing the skid 30 to extend behind the lower legs 28. Next, the switched left front and right rear legs are lowered to the ground for support, and the left rear and right rear legs are raised, changing the skid position as before. The relative positions of the four legs are adjusted so that the robot can stand upright with the skateboards that have been switched. The squatting phase is as follows: the motion control module of the control analysis module 7 controls the angle of the thigh motor 20 and the calf motor 23 of the four legs (left front, left rear, right front, and right rear) so that the robot body 2 squats down relative to the ground to the sliding height and the skid plate 30 is completely in contact with the ground. At the same time, the windproof sand plate position adjustment module of the analysis module 7 controls the windproof sand mechanism 3 so that the roller 37 in the windproof sand mechanism 3 touches the ground. The process of switching the sliding motion mode to the stepping motion mode is exactly the opposite of the above process.
[0050] When the robot needs to perform sandstorm protection, this function mainly includes three aspects: normal sandstorm protection, sandstorm avoidance, and sand pile removal. The normal sandstorm protection function involves controlling the sandstorm protection mechanism 3 via the sandstorm protection plate position adjustment module of the control and analysis module 7, causing the sandstorm protection plates 32 on both sides to symmetrically unfold and protect the robot. When the sandstorm is severe and the robot cannot continue to move or operate, the sandstorm avoidance function is activated. Specifically, the sandstorm protection mechanism 3 is controlled by the sandstorm protection plate position adjustment module of the control and analysis module 7, causing the sandstorm protection plates 32 on both sides to symmetrically close at the upper part of the robot body 2. Simultaneously, the control and analysis module 7 controls the foot sled to... The robot's four legs squat down, creating a relatively enclosed and sand-free environment. When the robot is buried by sand while avoiding sandstorms, it uses a sand-explosion function. Specifically, the sand-explosion plate position adjustment module of the control analysis module 7 controls the sand-explosion mechanism 3, causing the sand-explosion plate 32 to push down on the sand. At the same time, the four legs (left front, left rear, right front, and right rear) controlled by the walking control module also push down on the sand, allowing the robot to leap up from the bottom of the sand pile. In addition to pushing down on the sand, the sand-explosion plate 32, controlled by the sand-explosion plate position adjustment module, also regularly pushes the sand outwards. The downward pushing and outward pushing of the sand-explosion plate 32 alternate, thus helping the robot to get out of the sand.
[0051] In addition to being able to achieve the above-mentioned functions in a desert setting, the present invention can also achieve similar functions in a snowy setting.
[0052] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above illustratively. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the spirit of the invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
