Abstract:
A novel tortoise-like flexible micro-robot with four legs is presented, which can crawl and swim underwater. The legs are actuated by ICPF (Ionic Conducting Polymer Film) and can be driven by a low voltage. ICPF is a kind of smart films, it has the characteristics of flexibility and good response. For analyzing the characters of the robot and improving the reliability and feasibility, we establish a dynamic model of the micro-robot by applying Pseudo-Rigid-Body-Dynamic-Model (PRBDM). The model is established on the base of staties and kinetics by considering the dynamic effect of the robot. Then, the displacement of the legs of the micro-robot is investigated based on PRBDM. The relation between the displacement of the robot legs and the frequency of the electrical voltage is theoretically derived from the PRBDM model and some analyses and experiment graphs about the relation are performed.
