主 题:Soft robot Bio-inspired soft robot Magnetic actuation
摘 要:With the growing demand for miniaturized workspaces,the demand for microrobots has been increasing in robotics *** to traditional rigid robots,soft robots have better robustness and *** a flexible structure,soft robots can undergo large deformations and achieve a variety of motion *** are working to design and fabricate flexible robots based on biomimetic principles,using magnetic fields for cable-free *** this study,we propose an inchworm-shaped soft robot driven by a magnetic ***,a robot is designed and fabricated and force analysis is ***,factors affecting the soft robot’s motion speed are examined,including the spacing between the magnets and the strength and frequency of the magnetic *** this basis,the motion characteristics of the robot in different shapes are explored,and its motion modes such as climbing are experimentally *** results show that the motion of the robot can be controlled in a two-dimensional plane,and its movement speed can be controlled by adjusting the strength of the magnetic field and other *** proposed soft robot is expected to find extensive applications in various fields.
