AI Technical Summary
Existing electric quadruped robots have high energy consumption, large size, and low load-bearing capacity in heavy-load postures. In particular, the axial dimension of the reducer is too long, which affects the overall performance of the robot.
The leg mechanism adopts a combination of rotary actuator and linear joint. The rotary actuator is driven by a servo motor and a cycloidal pinwheel reducer. The first and second linear joints are driven by reverse planetary roller screws to achieve a high transmission ratio and self-locking function. Combined with the linear actuator driven by the reverse planetary roller screw, the load-bearing capacity and energy efficiency are improved.
Without increasing size, a higher transmission ratio and load-bearing capacity were achieved, energy consumption under heavy load was reduced, and the robot's endurance and overall performance were improved.
