Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of robotics technology, and specifically relates to a humanoid robot with a multi-degree-of-freedom bionic arm. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in the field of robotics, bionic robotic arms typically require lighter weight, higher energy density, and more flexible degrees of freedom. Higher flexibility reduces the load torque amplification caused by a long lever arm. Torque amplification necessitates higher strength for all components, requiring larger motors and reducers. Increased component weight increases segmented inertia and end-effector inertia, reducing the overall arm's motion performance. Furthermore, the increased space occupied by the arm reduces its energy density and flexibility. Additionally, current bionic robotic arms, with their multiple degrees of freedom, suffer from tangled wiring, wire pulling and bending, and exposed wiring at high operating ranges. Summary of the Invention
