Abstract

The invention discloses an underwater robot with a splicing function and a method thereof, and belongs to the field of underwater robots, the underwater robot comprises a waterproof shell, a sensing module, a main control module, a power supply module and a rotary splicing module; the sensing module is used for environment sensing, the main control module is used for decision control, the power supply module provides energy support, the rotary splicing module is a core module of the robot, a rotary telescopic mechanism comprising a rotary shaft telescopic arm and a limiting rotor is creatively provided, and the rotary telescopic mechanism can be matched with limiting grooves in waterproof shells of other single robots. And splicing of the underwater robot is realized. According to the scheme of combining the underwater robot through the rotary splicing mechanism, independent operation or group operation can be selected according to the use scene, the combination shape can be switched during group operation to meet the task requirement, and the group task which cannot be completed by a traditional individual robot is achieved; therefore, the adaptability and execution capability of the underwater robot to complex tasks and environments are improved.
