Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of mobile robot technology, and in particular relates to a foldable double triangular prism mobile robot for unmanned reconnaissance and detection. Background Technology

[0002] The triangular prism robot is a non-regular polyhedral, link-type polyhedral robot with rich deformation and linear movement capabilities. Compared to existing link-type polyhedral mobile robots, this invention does not simply achieve movement by changing its center of mass; instead, it utilizes its own extensibility and deformation capabilities, mimicking the movement of a worm. Compared to existing double triangular prism mobile robots, the branches of this invention can fold inward and extend outward, and the link links can completely overlap, enabling the entire robot to be foldable. The platform uses a central rotation-driven scaling mechanism, allowing for large-scale deformation of the entire robot and providing excellent deformable movement capabilities.

[0003] Chinese patent CN 114589717A proposes a fully R-joint triangular prism mobile robot. The robot's overall shape is a triangular prism, composed of six vertices and nine branches. All kinematic joints are R-joints. By changing the dimensions of three sets of branches, the robot can present a triangular prism or triangular frustum structure. The robot uses servo motors to drive the branches to rotate inwards and outwards to achieve robot deformation, and uses a center-of-gravity shift to achieve rolling movement.

[0004] Chinese patent CN 106863283A discloses a double triangular prism mobile robot. The robot is shaped like a double triangular prism, with platforms connected by branches driven by telescopic rods. The platforms achieve scaling by simultaneously extending and retracting three telescopic rods. The robot uses telescopic rods as its drive mechanism; however, the extension-retraction ratio of the rods is small, resulting in a limited deformation range, and the branches can only perform extension and retraction movements and small deflections. Summary of the Invention

This invention designs a centrally rotated scaling platform, using only rotary joints for the entire robot's drive. This results in a large deformation range, and the branch design allows for complete overlap of the branch links, enabling the robot to be foldable, occupying less space, and possessing excellent deformable movement capabilities.

The foldable double triangular prism mobile robot according to claim 1, characterized in that: The mobile robot can transform and move by controlling the rotation angle of the platform servo motor and the branch servo motor. The mobile robot moves by extending and deforming its overall shape. First, the rear platform retracts, and the branches retract, causing the rear platform to move forward. Next, the rear platform extends, and the middle platform retracts, at which point the rear and front platforms are simultaneously grounded, while the middle platform is suspended. Then, the branches deform, causing the middle platform to move forward, followed by its extension and grounding. Next, the front platform retracts, and the branches retract, causing the front platform to move forward. Finally, the front platform fully extends and grounds, similar to the wriggling motion of annelids, achieving forward movement. The robot can also turn by controlling the servo motor's rotation angle. The robot can overcome obstacles by lifting one end.
