[0040] The four mechanical legs 2 are divided into left front, right front, left rear, and right rear parts. Each thigh honeycomb muscle structure 6 is divided into a first inflation area 100, a second inflation area 200, a third inflation area 300, and a fourth inflation area 400 according to the distribution of the air bags 9. The calf honeycomb muscle structure 8 is divided into a fifth inflation area 500 and a sixth inflation area 600 according to the distribution of the air bags 9.
[0041] The working principle is as follows: Fig. 9The foot end trajectory of each mechanical leg is divided into four segments, wherein the ab, bc and cd segments are straight line segments, and the ad segment is an arc segment. For example, when the robot needs to move forward, the foot end trajectory of a single leg is (a→b, b→c, c→d, d→a), that is, a single leg can be divided into four segments according to the above steps in one step; in order to ensure the stability of the center of gravity of the robot, it is necessary to ensure that three mechanical legs are in contact with the ground at each moment of movement to ensure stable support, so when each leg of the robot moves according to the trajectory as above during walking, it is necessary to design a time phase difference in movement; observing the step sequence of designing four legs of various quadruped animals is: left front leg→right rear leg→right front leg→left rear leg, and the starting positions of each foot end are respectively located at points a, b, c and d, so the leg movement sequence of each stage is shown in the following table:
[0042]
[0043] According to the above design of the bionic quadruped robot specification, each mechanical leg has 6 inflatable areas, and four legs need 24 inflatable areas, and each inflatable area needs a proportional valve to control the air supply, so 24 proportional valves are needed.
[0044] Air pressure passage: The air pressure is provided by an air compressor, high-pressure air enters a pressure reducing valve through a special pipeline, the pressure reducing valve adjusts the required air pressure range, and then 24 air guide pipes are respectively connected to the air inlet ends of the 24 proportional valves. The upper computer calculates the corresponding bone rotation angle of the robot during walking, and calculates the air pressure value required to reach the expected angle in cooperation with the test data, and converts the required air pressure value into an electrical signal to control the output air pressure of the proportional valve.
[0045] Control signal passage: wherein the constant voltage power supply ensures the stable work of the data acquisition card and the proportional valve, the data acquisition card is responsible for collecting real-time air pressure signals, and the air bag film and the cavity surface of the honeycomb muscle structure are collected by the film pressure sensor. Among them, a gas path branch is led out in the air inlet path of each inflatable bag, and a gas pressure sensor is connected; a film pressure sensor is inserted in the contact gap between each air bag and the honeycomb muscle structure, and the installation position of the leg honeycomb muscle structure is similar, and since the air pressure in the air bag is the same, the pressure generated by the inflatable bag on the cavity wall of the honeycomb muscle structure is equal at each cavity, so one film pressure sensor is inserted in each inflatable area.
[0046] Meanwhile, the camera collects environmental information, and the host computer discriminates the image to determine the next action. The data acquisition card outputs to the host computer, combines the environmental information, and the computer determines the voltage model corresponding to the required air pressure value of the next action. The data acquisition output board card outputs to the proportional valve, which can control the air pressure output of each proportional valve, thereby controlling the air pressure, time length and sequence in each inflation area, thereby controlling the movement of the quadruped soft robot.
