Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of foot-type robots, and in particular to a humanoid robot capable of amphibious operations. Background Art

[0002] An underwater robot is a tool that integrates seabed search, investigation, identification and salvage operations. At present, most robots used underwater are multi-legged robots (mostly hexapod robots). Multi-legged robots have strong terrain adaptability and anti-disturbance capabilities, and perform well in narrow space operations on the seabed and near the side wall. Compared with multi-legged robots, humanoid robots can rely on the excellent configuration of torso and limbs to move while the upper body performs other actions at the same time, completing more complex underwater operations, and are suitable for different complex scenes of amphibious and land. However, how humanoid robots can adapt to large underwater disturbances and complete fast movement in complex terrain has become an important factor limiting humanoid robots' underwater operations. After all, as the water depth continues to increase, its water pressure and flow rate also increase geometrically, and there are far more uncontrollable factors than on land. Therefore, how humanoid robots can better adapt to the underwater environment and operate smoothly underwater is still a bottleneck problem faced by the industry. Summary of the invention

The buoyancy adjustment mechanism can control the robot's floating and sinking underwater, while the vector thruster can control the robot's swimming underwater, making it convenient for the robot to quickly enter a working position. The lower body adopts a five-degree-of-freedom drive method, which effectively solves the problem of convenient underwater movement of the humanoid robot, and allows the humanoid robot to arbitrarily adjust its angle underwater to facilitate the execution of commands by its upper body. At the same time, the robot can be applied to amphibious working scenarios, thereby improving its versatility and solving the problems existing in the prior art.
