小天体探测机器人表面附着装置设计与验证

Design and Verification of Surface Gripping Device for Small Celestial Body Exploration Robot

  • 摘要: 由于小天体的引力微弱、地质形貌特征复杂,因此附着固定成为探测器开展探测任务的重要前提。为此,提出了一种多足趾爪刺固定的星表附着装置,并安装在探测机器人的末端。该装置各足趾之间运动独立,通过足趾尖刺钩挂小天体表面实现固定,通过多足趾共同作用提供锚固力。经分析及地面试验,验证了该固定装置对多种地形的适应能力,可为小天体探测机器人的表面附着与固定提供设计借鉴和工程参考。

     

    Abstract: Due to the weak gravity and the complex geological morphological characteristics of small celestial bodies,attachment and fixation become an important prerequisite for exploration robots in exploration tasks. So, a multi-toed microspine gripping device assembled in the end of exploration robot is proposed, which can hook into the small celestial body surface by toe microspines, and provide fixation by the joint action of multiple independent and non-interfering toes. The device has a strong adaptability in wide range of landforms by analysis and verification through ground tests, and the result provides reference and engineering guidance for the surface attachment and fixation of small celestial body exploration robot.
