Design of High Sensitive Quadruped Robot with Modular Assembly

Abstract

The fast development of technology generates new sensitive robots with increased intelligence and more human interaction. Consequently, the demand for robots gradually increases. This research focuses on a new quadruped robot with multiple functions, high sensitivity and modular assembly. Compared with a biped robot, the quadruped can move just as well as the biped but more stably. Besides, under additional loads, the four feet of the quadruped robot reinforce its carrying ability and reliability, which helps it carry more objects and enhances functionality. Based on different requirements and demands, the highly sensitive quadruped robot provides an expandable interface to add different sensing components, like body sensors, carbon dioxide sensors, humidity sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and so on. Based on the real situation, the user can choose the necessary sensing components. In addition, when combined with a wireless communication module or independent 1.2G Radio Frequency CCD wireless image transmission system, the user can control the robot remotely and instantly. The design helps the quadruped robot expand its applications. By assembling and disassembling modules and changing different sensing components, the highly sensitive quadruped robot can be used for tasks like manufacturing, mineexploring, emergency rescue, security, and home care. Moreover, the remote control function of the robot will increase interaction with human beings and become highly involved in people’s lives.
