Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention mainly relates to the field of biomimetic flapping-wing flying robot technology, specifically, to a multi-degree-of-freedom dragonfly flapping-wing flying robot and a brain-like control method. Background Technology

[0002] Insect-inspired flapping-wing flying robots are an innovative research project combining bio-inspired design and advanced engineering technology, aiming to mimic the flight characteristics of insects. Insect flight systems possess extremely high flexibility and adaptability, enabling rapid changes in flight direction and precise control in complex environments. Compared to traditional fixed-wing and rotary-wing drones, this flight mode offers superior maneuverability and stability, making it particularly suitable for missions in obstacle-filled environments such as cities and forests. Researchers have gradually developed biomimetic aircraft by analyzing the movement patterns, aerodynamics, and biological structure of insect wings. These robots can not only hover, make rapid turns, and fly along complex paths, but also possess strong wind resistance and energy efficiency. Insect-inspired flapping-wing flying robots are gradually becoming a new direction in drone technology, indicating broad application prospects in fields such as environmental monitoring, rescue operations, and agricultural management.

[0003] However, existing insect-inspired flapping-wing flying robots often lack maneuverability in complex environments, cannot freely adjust the angles of their wings, tails, and bodies, and cannot accurately perform complex flight maneuvers such as hovering, rapid turns, and precise landings. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the deficiencies involved in the background art by providing a multi-degree-of-freedom dragonfly flapping-wing flying robot and a brain-like control method.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] On one hand, the present invention provides a multi-degree-of-freedom dragonfly flapping-wing flying robot, including a skeletal device, a flight device, a detection device, a tail device, a control console, and a leg device.

[0007] The skeletal device includes an upper body skeleton and a lower body skeleton; the flight device includes four flight mechanisms fixed to the left front end, left rear end, right front end, and right rear end of the lower body skeleton cavity respectively; the detection device includes a head skeleton and an eye-like camera; the tail device includes a first tail motor, a second tail motor, a first tail linkage, a tail rod, and a motor mounting plate; the control console is equipped with an attitude sensor, a satellite navigation sensor, a neuromorphic chip, and a battery; the leg device includes a left flexible leg, a right flexible leg, and their drive devices.

[0008] On the other hand, the present invention also includes a brain-like control method for a multi-degree-of-freedom dragonfly flapping-wing flying robot, including a dragonfly-like motion model based on a brain-like neural network and flight control for forward, backward, left turn, right turn, left turn in place, right turn in place, ascent, and descent movements.

[0009] The dragonfly-like motion model based on a brain-like neural network is obtained through training with a spiking neural network, and includes the following steps:

[0010] Step 1: Collect data on the angles and flapping speeds of the wings, the angle of the tail, and the tilt angle of the body when the dragonfly moves forward, backward, turns left, turns right, turns left in place, turns right in place, ascends, and descends.

[0011] Step 2: Construct wing angle sequence datasets, tail angle sequence datasets, and body tilt angle sequence datasets respectively, and input them into a spiking neural network to obtain wing angle sequence models, tail angle sequence models, and body tilt angle sequence models under different actions;

[0012] Step 3: Deploy the three models to the neuromorphic chip on the console, and output wing angle sequence, tail angle sequence, and body tilt sequence based on different action commands.

[0013] Furthermore, the brain-like control method for the multi-degree-of-freedom dragonfly flapping-wing flight robot of the present invention includes the following flight control methods for forward, backward, left turn, right turn, stationary left turn, stationary right turn, ascent, and descent actions:

[0014] Forward, backward, left turn, right turn, stationary left turn, stationary right turn, ascent, and descent are actions controlled by console 5. The console inputs commands into the neuromorphic chip to obtain wing angle sequences, tail angle sequences, and body tilt angle sequences, which are then converted into motor angle data. Console 5 controls the rotation of the second flight motors at the left front, left rear, right front, and right rear of the multi-degree-of-freedom dragonfly-like flapping-wing flying robot. The second flight motors drive the rotation of the first flight link, which in turn drives the rotation of the second flight link, which in turn drives the rotation of the third flight link. The third link, via a flight timing belt, drives the rotation of the fourth flight link, which in turn flaps the wings. The console controls the third and fourth flight motors to rotate the wings to a specified angle. Console 5 also controls the first and second tail motors to rotate the tail lever to a specified angle.

[0015] The console 5 controls the rotation of the first momentum wheel motor, the second momentum wheel motor, the third momentum wheel motor of the stabilizer box, and the first flight motor of the left front end, left rear end, right front end, and right rear end of the multi-degree-of-freedom dragonfly flapping-wing flying robot based on the attitude sensor and body tilt angle sequence. This controls the rotation of the first momentum wheel, the second momentum wheel, the third momentum wheel, and the turning momentum wheel. According to the conservation of angular momentum, this ensures that the body reaches the desired position more quickly.

[0016] The multi-degree-of-freedom dragonfly flapping-wing flying robot provided by this invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The flapping-wing flying robot structure inspired by dragonflies can improve energy efficiency, extend flight time, and reduce noise and impact of the aircraft, thus meeting diverse practical needs.

[0018] 2. The combination of brain-like control methods and biomimetic flapping-wing flying robots enables the robots to more naturally simulate the flight behavior of dragonflies, exhibiting greater flexibility and maneuverability.

[0019] This invention solves the problem of insufficient maneuverability of traditional aircraft in complex environments. Through a dragonfly-inspired flapping wing structure and a design with four independently driven wings, this robot possesses outstanding flexibility, enabling it to perform complex flight maneuvers such as hovering, rapid turns, and precise landings. This flexibility allows it to efficiently adapt to different mission requirements in confined spaces, such as environmental monitoring, indoor navigation, and search and rescue, improving execution efficiency and operational reliability, and greatly expanding the application areas of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the present invention discloses a multi-degree-of-freedom dragonfly flapping-wing flying robot, including a skeletal device 1, a flight device 2, a detection device 3, a tail device 4, a control console 5, and a leg device 6.

[0044] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the flight device 2 includes four flight structures that are respectively fixed to the left front end, left rear end, right front end, and right rear end of the lower body skeleton 101.

[0048] Furthermore, the multi-degree-of-freedom dragonfly flapping-wing flying robot of the present invention has wings 215 as thin-film flexible structures, wings 215 as zigzag shapes, wings 215 with textures for stable flight, and wing spots at the outermost end, which are textureless and have thick film structures.

[0049] Example 3:

[0050] The present invention provides a brain-like control method for a multi-degree-of-freedom dragonfly flapping-wing flying robot, including a dragonfly motion model based on a brain-like neural network and flight control for forward, backward, left turn, right turn, left turn in place, right turn in place, ascent, and descent movements.

[0051] The dragonfly-like motion model based on a brain-like neural network is obtained through training with a spiking neural network, and includes the following steps:

[0052] Step 1: Collect data on the angles and flapping speeds of the wings, the angle of the tail, and the tilt angle of the body when the dragonfly moves forward, backward, turns left, turns right, turns left in place, turns right in place, ascends, and descends.

[0053] Step 2: Construct wing angle sequence datasets, tail angle sequence datasets, and body tilt angle sequence datasets respectively, and input them into a spiking neural network to obtain wing angle sequence models, tail angle sequence models, and body tilt angle sequence models under different actions;

[0054] Step 3: Deploy the three models to the neuromorphic chip on console 5, and output wing angle sequence, tail angle sequence, and body tilt sequence based on different action commands.

[0055] Furthermore, the brain-like control method for the multi-degree-of-freedom dragonfly flapping-wing flight robot of the present invention includes the following flight control methods for forward, backward, left turn, right turn, stationary left turn, stationary right turn, ascent, and descent actions:

[0056] Forward, backward, left turn, right turn, stationary left turn, stationary right turn, ascent, and descent are actions controlled by the console 5. Commands are input into the neuromorphic chip to obtain wing angle sequences, tail angle sequences, and body tilt angle sequences, which are then converted into motor angle data. The console 5 controls the rotation of the second flight motor 205 at the left front, left rear, right front, and right rear of the multi-degree-of-freedom dragonfly-like flapping-wing flying robot. The second flight motor 205 drives the first flight link 206 to rotate, which in turn drives the second flight link 207. The second flight link 207 drives the third flight link 208 to rotate, which in turn drives the fourth flight link 210 via the flight synchronization belt 209. The fourth flight link 210 drives the wings 215 to flap. The console 5 controls the third flight motor 211 and the fourth flight motor 213 to rotate the wings to a specified angle. The console 5 also controls the first tail motor 401 and the second tail motor 402 to rotate the tail rod 404 to a specified angle.

[0057] The console 5 controls the rotation of the first momentum wheel motor, the second momentum wheel motor, the third momentum wheel motor of the stabilizer box 102, and the first flight motor 202 of the left front end, left rear end, right front end, and right rear end of the multi-degree-of-freedom dragonfly flapping-wing flying robot based on the attitude sensor and body tilt sequence. This controls the rotation of the first momentum wheel 103, the second momentum wheel 104, and the third momentum wheel 105 and the turning momentum wheel 203. According to the conservation of angular momentum, this ensures that the body reaches the desired position more quickly.

[0058] During forward, backward, upward, and downward movements, the first momentum wheel 103, the second momentum wheel 104, and the third momentum wheel 105 rotate, while the steering momentum wheel 203 rotates stably, maintaining the robot's body balance. During left and right turns, the steering momentum wheel 203 and the second momentum wheel 104 accelerate to the left and right, respectively, while the first momentum wheel 103 and the third momentum wheel 105 maintain body balance. During stationary left and right turns, the steering momentum wheel 203 accelerates to the left and right, while the first momentum wheel 103, the second momentum wheel 104, and the third momentum wheel 105 maintain body balance.

[0059] In controlling the dragonfly-like flapping-wing flying robot to move forward, backward, turn left, turn right, turn left in place, and turn right in place, in addition to the control methods mentioned above, the following steps can also be included to improve the maneuverability of the dragonfly-like flapping-wing flying robot:

[0060] Step 1: Add counterweights to the leg device 6 of the dragonfly flapping wing flying robot. The weight of a single counterweight is between 10g and 100g.

[0061] Step 2: Control the leg device 6 to move according to the action commands sent from the console;

[0062] For example, when performing a left turn, the second drive motor 602 is controlled to rotate, causing the second drive line to retract, which in turn causes the right flexible leg to retract. At this time, the center of gravity of the dragonfly flapping-wing flying robot moves to the left, thereby speeding up the execution of the left turn.

[0063] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
