Description

Hybrid drive flexible mechanical arm based on paper folding structure
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of soft robots, and particularly relates to a hybrid driving flexible mechanical arm.
Background
The existing flexible mechanical arms mostly adopt a single driving mode, such as a gas driving mode, a shape memory alloy driving mode and a rope driving mode. However, a single driving mode has certain limitation, for example, the pneumatic driving can lead the mechanical arm to have compact structural design, but has high requirements on air tightness and control precision; shape memory alloys can achieve rapid shrinkage deformation but require a long time to cool; the rope drive has a large driving force but requires additional motors and devices to achieve stretching and shrinking of the traction rope. Thus, a single actuator limits the efficiency of the actuation of the flexible robotic arm. Second, most flexible mechanical arm drives are arranged in a centralized manner, which also limits the freedom and overall deformability of the flexible mechanical arm. Finally, the existing flexible mechanical arm is generally prepared from silica gel or composite materials, and has complex manufacturing process and heavy mass, so that the available working space of the mechanical arm is limited.
In order to further improve the space accessibility and the deformability of the flexible mechanical arm and simultaneously realize the light weight and the simplified preparation process of the flexible mechanical arm, the modularized hybrid driving mechanical arm based on the paper folding structure is designed.
