The invention relates to a preparation method of a conductive
thermoplastic starch polymer and a
polymer-based humanoid
soft finger with a folding paper structure, belongs to the technical field of humanoid fingers, and aims to solve the problems that in an existing humanoid
soft finger with the variable rigidity realized by utilizing a thermal
phase change material, the variable rigidity responsespeed is low due to long
response time of conversion from a glass state to a high-elasticity state, and the joint motion flexibility and the rigidity of the humanoid
soft finger cannot be realized atthe same time. The
polymer-based humanoid soft finger comprises a finger root, a
metacarpophalangeal joint, a
proximal phalanx, an
interphalangeal joint, a
middle phalanx, a finger tip joint, a distal phalanx, a strain restraint layer, a variable rigidity layer, a cooling layer and a
contact layer, wherein each joint is provided with a U-shaped groove, and the outer side of each joint is wrappedwith Yoshimura line type folding paper; and three self-made conductive
thermoplastic starch polymer plates are arranged at the bottom of the finger. The humanoid soft finger not only can realize rapidand
active control of the rigidity of the phalanxes, but also can realize synchronous and passive adjustment of joint flexible motion and joint rigidity, and has the advantages of fast variable rigidity, high adaptability and flexibility in motion.
