2. The method for driving the unit arm section of the two-degree-of-freedom deep sea mechanical arm based on the piezoelectric driving method is characterized in that a first-order asymmetric bending vibration mode and a first-order symmetric bending vibration mode of the unit arm section piezoelectric vibrator are excited by applying driving signals with pi/2 phase difference to a first piezoelectric ceramic plate and a second piezoelectric ceramic plate of the unit arm section, so that micro elliptical motion tracks are generated by mass points of the driving foot, and the rotation joint is driven to rotate by friction.
