JUMPING ROBOT USING SHAPE MEMORY ALLOY CAPABLE OF STEADILY EMBODYING A JUMPING POSTURE AND A LANDING POSTURE AFTER JUMPING

摘要

PURPOSE: A jumping robot using shape memory alloy capable of steadily embodying a jumping posture and a landing posture after jumping is provided to embody the jumping height of a jumping robot in comparison with the height of the jumping robot, thereby utilizing the jumping robot in various ways.;CONSTITUTION: A SMA(Shape Memory Alloy) coil(16) connects one end of a crank(14) and a robot body(12). The SMA coil rotates the crank using self restoring force. A leg module includes a hook(22), a rack rod(24), a frame base(26) and a spherical frame(28). A tension spring(40) connects the hook with the robot body. A control unit(30) supplies voltage to the SMA coil. The control unit controls the contraction of the SMA coil.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2013
