Description

Jellyfish robot based on bionic design
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of bionic machinery, in particular to an jellyfish robot based on bionic design.
Background
In recent decades, the trend of deep blue becomes national consensus, and the great development of ocean has important significance for developing economy and guaranteeing safety. The large development of the ocean is not separated from the development of various ocean equipment, in particular deep sea ocean equipment. The industry of the bionic underwater robots is also gradually heated, and the body and shadow of the bionic underwater robots with various purposes are actively in the forefront line of ocean development.
Since the first cableless underwater robot "spur" mainly used for hydrologic investigation was built by the university of washington in the last 50 s of the 20 th century, people have generated a great deal of interest in the cableless underwater robot, but the development of the intelligent underwater robot technology has been long-lasting due to the technical limitations of various matched systems. With the urgent demands of new technologies such as materials, electronics, computers and the like in the fields of marine research, development and military, intelligent underwater robots are attracting attention again in the field of marine development and in the military of various countries.
After the 90 th century, various technologies of the intelligent bionic underwater robot begin to mature gradually, and as the intelligent underwater robot has far application prospects in ocean research and ocean development and wide application in future underwater information acquisition, deep water resource development, accurate striking and 'asymmetric intelligence fight resistance', the bionic underwater bionic robot technology is an important field which is worthy of active research and development all over the world.
The underwater robot is widely applied to various fields including ocean engineering, port construction, offshore oil, maritime law enforcement evidence collection, scientific research, naval defense and the like, and is used for completing various works such as underwater search and rescue, detection and salvage, deep sea resource investigation, submarine line pipe laying and inspection maintenance, underwater archaeology, power station and dam detection and the like.
At present, the demands of the market for underwater robots are divided into two types, namely an observation detection type and an operation type. The observation type is equipped with underwater television and photographic equipment, and is periodically observed and inspected for underwater specific targets. The operation type underwater operation device can be used for carrying out simple underwater operation by further providing equipment such as front view sonar, side scan sonar, seabed drawing, seabed profile and the like, various manipulators and the like according to different requirements.
It should be mentioned that the ocean, which occupies 71% of the earth's surface area, is a rich and far undeveloped resource treasury, and is also a army field seen by army. In the 21 st century, human beings face three contradictory challenges of population expansion and living space, land resource exhaustion and social production growth, ecological environment deterioration and human development, and ocean resources must be fully utilized to maintain survival, reproduction and development of the human beings, which is an unavoidable choice. For China with lack of resources per capita, ocean development has special significance. The Chinese operators are wide, the coastline is long, and the territory of the territory is large. However, due to the defects of the prior art, the tools used by fishermen in China are crude, the marine protection consciousness is poor, and the marine ecological environment is damaged to different degrees.
Thus, marine ranch construction and marine ecological restoration are the key directions for developing marine fishery in coastal countries in the world. The ecological environment of the marine pasture determines the necessity of water quality monitoring, the hydrologic monitoring in China is in the stage of changing from the traditional mode to the modern mode at present, the traditional detection method can only detect the surface of water quality, is trapped in the underwater environment, can only further detect the water quality, and causes a certain error in the detection result. Further developments in underwater robotics have well addressed this problem.
Meanwhile, in order to develop the marine fish farming industry, more advanced equipment and detection means are needed, and according to the hydrological water quality statistical data of rivers and channels and the sewage outlet quantity statistical data. Based on the concept of ecological system management, the resource utilization mode of marine agriculture and animal husbandry for improving habitat and breeding fishes is established through measures of restoring ecological systems such as artificial fish reef, algae farm construction, proliferation and release and the like. The underwater robot is more difficult in mechanism design than the land robot because of the special environment in which the underwater robot is located. The design of various aspects such as underwater depth control, deep water pressure, line insulation treatment, leakage prevention, driving principle, surrounding fuzzy environment identification and the like needs to be considered. Such as an interventional underwater robot Defender, which uses a torpedo-like profile, driven by a turbine, with a rigid housing to resist water pressure. The problems of large volume, heavy weight, low efficiency, high noise, poor maneuverability and the like of the traditional control and propulsion device always limit the development of the microminiature unmanned underwater detector and the autonomous underwater robot. Therefore, the propulsion mode of the submarine animals has become an object for people to develop novel flexible diving equipment with high speed, low noise and flexible maneuvering.
