Abstract

The phenomenon of using traveling waves is widely observed in organisms like centipedes, stingrays, and snails. Energy is uniformly distributed through wave propagation, reducing energy loss and enhancing motion efficiency. This offers valuable guidance for designing robots. Here, we report a miniature robot emulating the traveling-wave behavior of snails. A single-frame robot is designed with a rigid square-frame structure and four piezoelectric ceramics to generate traveling waves. The robot achieves a linear speed of 12 body lengths per second (BL/s), with a volume of 27.5 × 26 × 4 mm3 and a weight of 7.9 g. Two-dimensional planar motion is realized by connecting two single-frame robots to form a double-frame robot, achieving a linear speed of 12 BL/s, a rotational speed of 690°/s, and a load capacity of 200 g. An integrated robot, combining a customized power supply and an image acquisition system, achieves untethered motion and image perception. This work provides a valuable design reference for miniature robots.

受蜗牛启发的行波驱动微型压电机器人
利用行波的现象在蜈蚣、黄貂鱼和蜗牛等生物身上被广泛观察到。能量通过波的传播均匀分布,减少了能量损失,提高了运动效率。这为设计机器人提供了宝贵的指导。在此,我们报告了一种模仿蜗牛行波行为的微型机器人。我们设计了一个单框架机器人,采用刚性方形框架结构和四个压电陶瓷来产生行波。该机器人的线速度为每秒 12 个体长(BL/s),体积为 27.5 × 26 × 4 mm3,重量为 7.9 g。通过将两个单框架机器人连接成双框架机器人,实现了二维平面运动,线速度为 12 BL/s,旋转速度为 690°/s,负载能力为 200 g。这项工作为微型机器人提供了宝贵的设计参考。
