Therefore, the humanoid robot upper limb should imitate the degree of freedom configuration of human upper limbs. Second, upward inertia. Whether performing precision operations or withstanding the impact of falls, a robotic arm with upward inertia always brings convenience to control and reduces energy consumption. Third, modular integration. A robotic arm constructed with highly integrated modules has huge advantages in parts procurement and processing, parts upgrades and iterations, and assembly and disassembly of the entire machine.

In this way, the inertia is shifted upward, which makes control more convenient and reduces energy consumption.
[0020] (3) The connection design between the shoulder three-joint module and the upper arm module in the present invention allows the upper arm module and the shoulder three-joint module to be freely installed and disassembled, which brings great convenience.
[0021] (4) The fourth joint of the upper arm module in the present invention is an integrated linear joint. Such a design can not only realize the upward shift of inertia, but also adjust the side length of the push rod triangle (composed of the upper arm sleeve, the lower arm sleeve and the fourth joint) by changing the size of the upper arm sleeve and the lower arm sleeve, thereby changing the achievable working range and the maximum torque that can be borne by the elbow pitch freedom.
[0022] (5) The four degrees of freedom of the entire robotic arm of the present invention are all achieved through integrated joints. The number of designed connectors is streamlined, and they have good portability and high integration characteristics, which facilitates the procurement and processing of parts, the upgrading and iteration of parts, and the assembly and disassembly of the entire machine. To replace different types of integrated joints, only the size of the corresponding connectors needs to be adjusted. In addition, the end of the forearm of the present invention can be fixedly connected to various integrated robotic arms through a simple pipe-sleeve connector to perform different operational tasks. The modularization greatly facilitates subsequent structural iteration and expansion design. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
