[0027] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a teaching quadruped robot with a touch screen includes a body 1, four limbs 101, and a head 2. The head 2 is located at the front end of the body 1, and the four limbs 101 are located at the lower end of the body 1.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the back of the body 1 is provided with a top cover 3, and the top cover 3 is provided with an emergency stop button 301 and a handle 302. The teaching quadruped robot with touch screen of this utility model has an emergency stop button 301 designed for easy triggering on the top cover 3 of the body 1. When an accident occurs during debugging, the emergency stop button 301 can be pressed directly to cut off the power to the motor and avoid accidents.

[0029] Two handles 302 are designed on the upper cover 3 of the robot body 1 for easy handling.

[0030] The upper cover 3 has a groove for accommodating the touchscreen 304. The touchscreen 304 is fixed to the upper cover 3 by a first fixing screw 303. A display housing 306 is provided at the upper end of the touchscreen 304. The display housing 306 has a hollowed-out groove that mates with the touchscreen 304. The display housing 306 is fixed to the upper cover 3 by a second fixing screw 305. The touchscreen 304 and the interface opening are integrated into the display housing 306. The touchscreen 304 is mounted on the display housing 306, and the interface opening and the surface of the touchscreen 304 are lower than the display housing 306 to prevent the touchscreen 304 from being damaged when the robot falls over.

[0031] This utility model features a teaching quadruped robot with a touchscreen. The upper cover 3 of the body 1 is designed with a touchscreen 304, allowing users to operate directly on the touchscreen 304 and interact with the robot. The operation is more intuitive and convenient, and it also makes it easier for students to debug single functions and view motor data and debug data in real time through the screen.

[0032] The robot body 1 houses a computing board, and the touchscreen 304 is connected to the control board. The control board is mounted above the battery compartment 4 using four copper pillars and secured with anti-loosening nuts. The control board includes a microcontroller, memory, a touchscreen interface, and a USB interface 307. The microcontroller uses a general-purpose ARM processor to control the touchscreen 304 display and receive signals from it. Simultaneously, it communicates with the computing board via the USB interface 307, sending operations from the touchscreen 304 to the computing board, thereby controlling the robot to complete different tasks, such as powering off, adjusting motor angles, calibrating motors, and performing self-tests. The memory stores robot parameter data.

[0033] During use, users can interact with the robot by touching the touchscreen 304. For example, users can select the robot's walking mode on the touchscreen 304, such as forward, backward, left turn, right turn, etc.; they can also view the robot's status information, such as battery level, walking speed, joint angles, etc. When the user operates on the touchscreen 304, the touchscreen 304 transmits the input signal to the processor, which processes the signal according to a preset program and controls the limbs 101 to perform corresponding actions. At the same time, the processor also transmits the robot's status information to the touchscreen 304 for display.

[0034] The display housing 306 is provided with an interface opening for connecting to the computing board. The interface opening is provided with a USB interface 307, an HDMI interface 308 and an Ethernet interface 309. It can be used to display simulation data and graphics on the screen, connect a keyboard and mouse to program directly on the computing board, and remotely connect to the computing board via a network cable to realize programming, simulation, control and debugging functions.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, a battery compartment 4 is provided at the lower end of the body 1. The battery compartment 4 is removably disposed on the right end face of the body 1. A battery body 401 is detachably disposed inside the battery compartment 4. The battery body 401 is fixed inside the battery compartment 4 by a battery strap 402.

[0036] Specifically, the bottom of the main body 1 is designed with a battery compartment 4. The battery compartment 4 adopts a pull-out split structure, which makes it easy to remove and replace the battery when replacing the battery body 401. The battery compartment 4 is 10mm longer and wider than the battery body 401. Foam is pasted around the battery body 401 before the battery body 401 is placed into the battery compartment 4, which has the effect of shock absorption and fixation.

[0037] Two battery straps 402 are used to secure the battery body 401. The battery body 401 is placed inside the battery compartment 4, and the battery straps 402 are passed through the strap holes and tightened for fixation. This method can also be used to fix a generic battery body 401.

[0038] The left end face of the device 1 is provided with a second speaker 104, a charging port 105, a power button 106, and a microphone hole 107. The right end face of the device 1 is provided with a first speaker 102 and an external power supply interface 103. The first speaker 102, the second speaker 104, and the microphone hole 107 are connected to a USB sound card, which is connected to a computing power board. The computing power board collects sound, plays audio, and realizes functions such as voice interaction and music playback.

[0039] External power interface 103 uses an XT60 terminal for easy power supply to extended devices. Charging port 105 adopts the universal DC5.0*2.1 specification for easy connection to a universal charger. The button is a self-resetting metal button that can be fixed to the side panel with a nut.

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a mounting groove for accommodating a depth camera 202 is provided on the front end surface of the head 2. The lower end of the head 2 is connected to the body 1 via a lower fixing plate 201, and the upper end of the head 2 is connected to the body 1 via an upper fixing plate 203.

[0041] Specifically, the lower fixing plate 201 of head 2 serves as the bottom support foundation of the device. It is made of metal, and its upper end is fastened to the lower end of head 2 with bolts, providing bottom support for the entire head 2 structure. Head 2, as the core load-bearing structure, has its upper end face fixed to the lower end face of upper fixing plate 203 with bolts to form an upper and lower support frame for head 2. At the same time, the front side of head 2 has a special mounting groove to hold the depth camera 202 in the groove structure and fix it to the lower fixing plate 201 of head 2 with bolts.

[0042] A lidar 205 is mounted on the upper end of the upper fixing plate 203 via a protective shell 204. A protective bracket 206 is mounted above the lidar 205. The protective bracket 206 specifically adopts a cross-shaped protective baffle. In this invention, the lidar 205 of the teaching quadruped robot with a touch screen serves as the sensing core, assembled inside the protective shell 204, and protected externally by the protective bracket 206, effectively preventing the lidar 205 from being damaged when the robot falls.
