Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of robots, and in particular to a robot dog with a loaded cargo grabbing manipulator. Background Art

[0002] Since the application of industrial robots in industrial production in the 1970s, robots have had a profound impact on the development of industrial production, labor productivity, labor market, and environmental engineering. Over the past few decades, robotics has developed at an astonishing speed. The first generation of robots has been widely used in production; the second generation of robots with perception has also made great breakthroughs; the research on the third generation of humanoid intelligent robots has become one of the high-tech frontier projects in many countries. In nuclear industry sites, maintenance of deep-sea oil platforms, mine clearance on the battlefield, ammunition transportation, fire fighting, etc., robots have great advantages over humans. Robots are also increasingly widely used in other industrial and agricultural fields.

[0003] Robot dogs and robotic arms both belong to the category of robots. Robot dogs are the most typical representatives of today's entertainment robots and are also the most widely watched robots. In addition to entertainment functions, some developers have begun to expand practical functions such as anti-theft alarm, search, and tracking on the original basis, which are similar to real dogs but stronger than real dogs. The "Aibo" robot dog developed by Sony and the "Shank" robot dog developed by a British company are tall, can run freely, can jump over high barriers, can play football with people, jump and turn over, and run sideways like crabs. In short, robot dogs have many uses, mainly including entertainment, education, security, search and rescue and emergency, military, logistics and transportation.

[0004] A manipulator is an automatic device that can imitate certain movements and functions of human hands and is used to grab, move objects or operate tools according to a fixed procedure. It can replace heavy human labor to achieve mechanization and automation of production, and can operate in harmful environments to protect personal safety. Therefore, it is widely used in machinery manufacturing, metallurgy, electronics, light industry, atomic energy and other sectors.

[0005] Since ancient times, in logistics and transportation, traditional cargo handling is generally carried out manually to designated transportation devices. With the continuous development of science and technology, some large robot dogs or manipulators are used to replace traditional cargo handling and delivery of items. Although the transportation efficiency is improved, both robot dogs and manipulators have their limitations in handling and transportation. They can only be used within the planned limited movement line area. For example, they can play a role in scenes such as warehouses or factories and become efficient logistics assistants. However, when robot dogs or manipulators are used in handling and transportation, such as in mountain construction, floors, and harsh environments, they are not intelligent enough and difficult to adapt to. The grabbing distance of the manipulator is fixed, and it can only be used to clamp and grab fixed-point moving goods. Once the goods are in special environments, they cannot be moved, grabbed, and transported. Therefore, the above-mentioned technical defects have high limitations when used alone.
