Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of robot walking and steering structure technology, specifically to an integrated robot walking and steering mechanism that does not require gear transmission. Background Technology
[0002] A robot is an intelligent machine capable of semi-autonomous or fully autonomous operation. Through programming and automatic control, robots can perform tasks such as work or movement. They possess fundamental characteristics like perception, decision-making, and execution, and can assist or even replace humans in dangerous, heavy, and complex tasks, improving work efficiency and quality, serving human life, and expanding or extending the scope of human activities and capabilities. A robot typically includes: a frame shell, joints, and transmission components. The robot's frame, like a human skeleton, supports and protects internal components and is usually made of aluminum alloy, steel, or carbon fiber composite materials. In warehousing and logistics scenarios with narrow shelves and limited space, the omnidirectional movement of a wheeled chassis and flexible robotic arms enable fast and precise sorting operations. Wheeled robots are commonly used in these scenarios, while robot walking and steering integrated mechanisms combine walking and steering functions. This mechanism allows the robot to flexibly move forward, backward, and change direction during movement, unlike traditional machines that rely on separate independent systems for walking and steering. It greatly simplifies the mechanical structure of robots, improves space utilization efficiency, and helps to improve the coordination and response speed of robot movement. However, existing wheeled robots mostly use joint modules for steering, which has poor stability and causes wheel wobbling after long-term operation. At the same time, the use of motors to drive gears to rotate occupies a certain space, making it inconvenient to transport and resulting in low transport efficiency of the robot.
