Abstract

Abstract:

A compliant outward bend foot was designed, drawing inspiration from geckos, which used adhesion array to absorb. Mechanical analysis and computation were developed on the structure of this foot. The bionic flexible soles inspired foot’s motion was controlled by using servo motor actuators. Controlling the servo motor by using single chip microcomputer,thus the bend and flat of foot were controlled.Through experiments by physical platform, the validity and feasibility of design were verified.

Key words:

gecko inspired;flexible foot, servo motor, bend, flat

摘要：

采用仿壁虎微纳米黏附阵列材料,设计并研制了具有柔性的仿壁虎柔性脚掌。对该脚掌进行了力学分析与计算。仿壁虎柔性脚掌将伺服舵机作为脚掌外翻和展平的驱动器。由单片机对伺服舵机控制,以实现仿壁虎柔性脚掌的外翻和展平。通过实物样机试验，验证了设计的有效性和可行性。
