Bionic Cheetah Spinal Elastic Energy Storage High-Speed ​​Gait Mechanism

This invention discloses a biomimetic cheetah spine elastic energy storage high-speed gait mechanism, belonging to the field of biomimetic legged robot motion execution and efficient gait control technology. Currently, quadrupedal and humanoid robots generally suffer from low energy utilization, high overall motion power consumption, significant gait rigidity impact, and limited continuous long-distance high-speed movement capability under high-speed running conditions. Conventional rigid linkage structures are difficult to achieve the efficient conversion and recycling of kinetic and elastic potential energy during biological movement. This invention mimics the biological movement mechanism of a cheetah during high-speed running, characterized by periodic bending and extension of the spine accompanied by elastic energy storage and release through tendons. It designs a multi-segment biomimetic flexible spinal main structure, combined with high-modulus energy storage tendon components, joint damping buffer units, and a collaborative drive linkage mechanism. This enables the robot to recover, store, and release energy within the complete gait cycle of stepping, takeoff, and landing, thereby significantly improving running speed, reducing drive system load, minimizing body vibration and impact, and enhancing overall stability and endurance under high-speed movement conditions. This technical solution has a highly original structure and is significantly different from existing bionic gait mechanisms. It can be widely used in equipment such as high-speed quadruped robots, emergency rescue robots, outdoor inspection robots, and racing robot platforms.
