Background
Mobile robots capable of performing exploration tasks in unknown environments are being studied by researchers around the world, wherein the main moving means are wheel type, crawler type, foot type and the like. The wheeled robot can well complete tasks in a continuous and flat ground, but cannot normally work on a slope or a concave-convex ground; the tracked robot has certain obstacle-crossing capability, but needs a large turning radius when turning, so that the tracked robot cannot turn flexibly, and particularly in narrow terrain, the tracked robot becomes fatal; from the bionics development, the foot robot has high flexibility and obstacle-crossing capability, has strong adaptability to terrain, and greatly improves the application field of the foot robot. The flexibility and obstacle-surmounting capability of the foot robot are not separated from the structure of the foot robot, but the structure makes a control system complicated, which is a great difficulty to be solved. Most of the existing foot robots can only swing the big shank and the small shank back and forth, and work by adopting a differential principle when turning and avoiding obstacles, so that the movement becomes slow and heavy, and the original advantages of the foot robots are lost. The legged robots have two, four, six and eight foot forms, where the stability and load capacity of the two-legged robot is poor and the mechanical redundancy and control complexity of the six-and eight-legged robots are high.
Chinese patent No. 105856250B discloses a "four-footed walking robot", which can swing back and forth and stretch out and draw back a support leg by the synchronous motion of a first driving branched chain and a second driving branched chain, and can swing sideways and stretch out and draw back a support leg by the asynchronous motion of the first driving branched chain and the second driving branched chain, but can not swing back and forth and swing sideways at the same time, and the number of revolute pairs of the support leg is too large, so that it is difficult to precisely control the amplitude of the swing.
