Abstract

Based on the kinematic topology of bionic robot and robot motion planning modeling, this paper designs the mechanical structure of highly integrated robotic joint module, the fast self-reconfigurable module, the drive control software, and the hardware for the system. Through the experimental verification and simulation data analysis, the robot joint module and the fast self-reconfiguration module designed in this paper meet the performance requirement of the reconfigurable intelligent robot. Finally, the prototype verification of the reconfigurable intelligent robot is realized in this paper.
