As shown in fig. 2, 10 and 11, the winding strategy is: firstly, growing and bending a main arm I, wherein the process is similar to a grabbing strategy, and firstly, the length of each section of mechanical arm of the main arm I is calculated by a central controller according to an equal moment principle; then, signals are sent to joints of the base and the main body arm I, and a base motor and a moving motor on the main body arm I are enabled to act in a synergistic mode, so that the length of each mechanical arm section of the main body arm I reaches a specified value; then, a bending motor at the joint of the main body arm I is driven to enable the rotation angle of the joint to reach a set value, so that the tail end of the main body arm I and the fine arm II reach the position of a target object; the fine arm II grows and winds at the same time according to the shape of the target object, and at the moment, the moving motor of the main body arm I and the moving motor of the fine arm II need to act in a synergistic mode; after the fine arm II finishes winding action on the target object, resetting the target position to the central controller; the main arm I is transferred or recovered to a target position, and the fine arm II keeps the winding action unchanged; the fine arm II is recovered from the tail end, the captured object is released, and the mechanical arm integrally completes one-time work.
As shown in fig. 3, when the length of a certain arm segment is specified, the motor of the base 1 and the moving motor of each joint 3 need to be cooperatively controlled to make each arm segment reach the specified length. As shown in fig. 3, when the arm i needs to be extended and the length of the remaining arm is not changed, the central controller sends a command to the base 1 and the joint 3 1 to i-1, the motor of the base 1 rotates in the forward direction to unwind the wound robot arm body 2 out of the base 1, the moving motor of the joint 3 1 to i-1 rotates in the reverse direction at the same speed as the motor of the base 1, and the moving motor of the joint 3 i to n does not rotate, so that only the arm i is extended. Similarly, when the arm i needs to be shortened, the motor of the base 1 rotates in the reverse direction, the mechanical arm body 2 which is unfolded is wound and retracted to the base 1, the moving motor of the joint 3 1 to i-1 rotates in the forward direction at the same speed as the motor of the base 1, and the moving motor of the joint 3 to i-n does not rotate, so that only the arm i is shortened.

As shown in fig. 5-7, the teleoperation mode of the present embodiment employs the equal moment principle, i.e. keeping the maximum moment experienced by each arm segment equal. In the process of computing the equal moment principle, firstly abstracting and assuming the mechanical arm: the mass of the mechanical arm main body 1 is smaller than that of the joint 3, and the mass of the joint 3 is far smaller than that of a target material; ② the joint 3 is regarded as particle; and the first section of the mechanical arm is connected with the base 1 and does not bend.
As shown in fig. 5, in order to implement a cooperative control method between motors when a flexible and rigid robot arm is self-grown in a space with double joints, the base 1, the joints 3, and the grippers 4 are simplified to be circular, and the robot main body 2 is simplified to be a straight line. This double-joint space is from growing flexibility mechanical arm that becomes rigidity includes two crooked positions and three arm sections, and the flexible in-process of arm main part 2, the arm section does not receive the force in the vertical direction, can not take place the bucking action, consequently only considers the terminal perpendicular atress condition of every arm section in the bending process, specifically includes: acceleration of the end of the ith arm segment

Wherein: the mass corresponding to the end-most arm segment is the mass M of the target object, and the masses corresponding to the remaining arms are the masses M of the joints 3.
Taking a three-joint mechanical arm as an example, willThe above equation is developed and the maximum moment received by arm No. 1 and arm No. 2 is calculated, and M is equal to the moment 1 =M 2 Then there is

the lateral and longitudinal accelerations of the endmost gripper 4 of the robot arm can be obtained by taking the second derivative of the abscissa and ordinate of the gripper 4 with respect to time, noting that only the angle changes with time during the derivative, the length of the arm segments does not change with time, and θ 1 And their derivatives are all 0, the remaining rotations are considered as uniform rotations.

The rotation of each joint 3 adopts the equiangular principle in consideration of the loss of the rotating motorI.e., K ═ 1; and theta is a known condition, then k can be obtained from the above formula 2 And k is 3 The relationship (c) in (c). If the length ratio between the arm segments satisfies this relationship, the torque received by the arm 1 and the arm 2 is equal. Similarly, if the number of nodes is increased, the analysis is performed on any adjacent mechanical arm, so that a plurality of groups of proportional relationships can be obtained, and the moments applied to the mechanical arms can be the same by satisfying the relationships. It should be noted that the moment applied to the endmost arm segment is always less than the other arm segments because the endmost arm segment is only under the inertia of the object being gripped.
As shown in FIG. 6, Matlab is adopted to simulate the maximum torque of each arm segment of the double-joint mechanical arm, and the result shows that 2 =2l 1 In the process, the maximum moment borne by the arm No. 1 and the arm No. 2 is kept equal at all times, and the moment borne by the arm No. 3 is always smaller than the rest mechanical arm sections.
As shown in fig. 7, the length of the endmost arm segment affects the equal moment of the remaining arms, and when the length of the endmost arm segment is longer, the ratio of the standard deviation to the average value of the moment applied to the remaining arm segments is smaller, indicating that the magnitude of the moment is closer. On the other hand, if the length of the end arm segment is too large, the moment of the remaining arm segments increases, and the entire robot arm tends to be more susceptible to buckling failure. When l is shown in FIG. 5 3 At 7l, the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean is less than 0.05, and the moments of the remaining arm segments are considered to be equal.
The simulation can be popularized to mechanical arms with more joints 3, the proportional relation between each mechanical arm section and the reference length is obtained, and the length of each mechanical arm section and the rotation angle of each joint 3 can be obtained by combining the position information of the target object.

The central controller sends instructions to the base 1 and each joint 3, and the arm segment close to the base 1 starts to be shortened, and after the arm segment reaches a specified length, the arm segment starts to be shortened next arm segment, and the arm segments are shortened in sequence until the last arm segment reaches the specified length. The central controller sends a bending command to each joint 3, and each joint 3 drives a bending motor to bend the joint 3 to a specified angle. After the bending is completed, the gripper 4 at the end of the mechanical arm and the captured object reach a new target site, and the transfer of the captured object is completed. The gripper 4 releases the captured object and the robot arm completes one job.
