Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to a growing type soft robot, which comprises: a housing including an external body in which an accommodating space is formed and of which one side is opened, and a fixing unit which is formed along the circumference of the opened area of the external body; a growing unit which comprises an outer circumferential portion having one end connected to the fixing unit, an inner circumferential portion spaced apart from the inside of the outer circumferential portion to be extended into the accommodating space, and a bending portion connecting the other end of the outer circumferential portion to one end of the inner circumferential portion, such that a front end space may be formed by the outer circumferential portion, the bending portion and the inner circumferential portion; and a data collecting unit including a cable which is extended along the central portion surrounded by the inner circumferential portion, and a sensing module which is provided at one side of the cable to acquire external information. The other end of the inner circumferential portion is folded in multiple steps to form a folded area. The length of the growing unit may be adjusted by the pressure of the air supplied to the front end space. The direction of the growing unit may be controlled by the pressure of fluid supplied to the outer circumferential portion. Therefore, the data collecting unit may be operated.
본 발명은, 내부에 수용공간이 형성되되 일측이 개구된 외부몸체와, 상기 외부몸체의 개구된 영역의 둘레를 따라 형성된 고정부를 포함하는 하우징; 상기 고정부에 일단이 연결되는 외주부와, 상기 외주부의 내측에 이격되어 상기 수용공간으로 연장되는 내주부와, 상기 외주부의 타단와 상기 내주부의 일단을 연결하는 절곡부를 포함하여, 상기 외주부, 절곡부 및 내주부에 의해 선단공간이 형성되는 성장유닛; 및 상기 내주부에 의해 둘러싸인 중심부를 따라 연장되는 케이블과, 상기 케이블의 일측에 구비되어 외부 정보를 획득하는 센싱모듈을 포함하는 데이터 수집유닛;을 포함하고, 상기 내주부의 타단은 다단으로 접혀 절첩영역이 형성되고, 상기 선단공간에 공급되는 공기의 압력에 의해서 성장유닛의 길이가 조절되고, 상기 외주부에 공급되는 유체의 압력에 의해서 성장유닛의 방향이 제어되는 성장형 소프트로봇에 관한 것이다. |
