Description

A kind of hybrid drive-type South Pole scientific investigation ball shape robot
Technical field
The present invention is under the jurisdiction of field of special robots, what relate to is a kind of robot, being specifically related to is a kind of hybrid drive-type South Pole scientific investigation ball shape robot, rely on wind-force and internal drive to move, can be used for the environment investigation of Antarctica circumstances not known, also can, for fields such as amusement, military affairs, transports, there is good compatible with environment and functions expanding.
Background technology
South Pole scientific investigation has important strategic importance at aspects such as national politics territory, military strategy, energy security, climate environments, current many countries have all started Antarctic regions to carry out exploratory development, but due to the restriction of the reasons such as matenal support, the vehicle, bad weather, scientific investigation scope only concentrates on by inshore area, and most place, the South Pole was not also investigated.
The application of intelligent robot has improved the work efficiency of South Pole scientific investigation greatly, has expanded scientific investigation personnel's action radius, has also reduced the danger of scientific investigation personnel outdoor activities.But most robot is all to adopt battery or engine fuel that power is provided, and this just limits robot movable scope greatly, and may pollute problem, affects the external environment condition of South Pole fragility.There are abundant solar power and wind energy resources in the South Pole, if it is used, can realize robot " infinitely " continuation of the journey roaming in the South Pole.
Ball shape robot at the scientific research field of many countries at present or a newer concept, and has certain advantage with wheeled comparing with legged type robot, and the particularly comformability to environment, has very high using value so study ball shape robot.Ball shape robot is a kind of robot with spherical housing.The feature of ball shape robot maximum is that mode of motion is special, spherical shell will make robot can after unstability, obtain maximum stability, therefore be not afraid of overturning, can only roll in one direction differently from wheel, it can do rolling movement in any direction of a plane.Meanwhile, equip sensor and the actr of various difference in functionalitys therein, just can make robot there are required various intelligent functions.
Through the Searches of Patent Literature of domestic and international prior art is found, existing ball shape robot is all to realize robot motion by internal drive form substantially, as fight strong " BHQ-2 ", " the BYQ-III " of Sun Hanxu and " HIT " of Harbin Institute of Technology are all by the motion of 2 drive motor control masses, produce eccentric moment and realize rotation.Although these ball shape robots can be realized autokinetic movement, during for environment detection, must carry sufficient power supply energy supply device and provide power for robot.But during for Members In Antarctic Environment, condition just does not allow to provide for robot the energy of enough abundances substantially, once ball shape robot internal power source exhausts, cannot obtain energy recharge, and robot will lose the effect that continues scientific investigation.Internal drive formula ball shape robot is because the weight of internal drive is very large simultaneously, and the energy not only consuming is more, and greatly limits exercise performance and the action radius of robot, is difficult to realize the environment detection work of long distance under Members In Antarctic Environment.
External NASA and JPL are devoted to mars exploration work and have developed complete wind and driven formula ball shape robot, as Tumbleweed Rover, and Hamster-Ball and Tumble-Cup etc.Although wind drives formula ball shape robot and solved energy resource supply problem completely, robot motion relies on wind-force effect completely, moves completely uncontrollable, in the time that robot gets into a difficult position, can not independently get rid of poverty, and is difficult in actual applications be promoted.
