Abstract

Throwable miniature robot can be deployed in important targets of sensitive areas by throwing, shooting, air-delivering or carrying by a small robot. So they are very suitable for secret reconnaissance and initiative detection in many military and civilian activities. However, the deployment mode of miniature mobile robots demands excellent anti-impact property. Moreover, another crucial problem resulted from the small volume of miniature robots is the difficulty of packing locomotion, sensing, computing and power subsystems into constrained space. To solve the problems above-mentioned, the design and realization for a kind of throwable miniature semi-autonomous reconnaissance robot was presented in the paper. Moreover, Finite element simulation analysis and anti-impact experiments showed that the robot has excellent capability of anti-impact. At last, the experiments also showed that the design of the throwable semi-autonomous reconnaissance robot is reliable and practical.
