  • Patent number: 11654548
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of intelligent robots, and more particularly to a subunit module for constructing a modular robot. The subunit module includes a first housing and a second housing which are disposed oppositely. The first housing and the second housing are rotatable relative to each other. Each of the two housings is provided with a docking part. The docking part is used to mechanically and electrically connect other robot modules adjacent to it. The subunit module further includes a control circuit. The control circuit is used for communicating with other robot modules. The subunit module receives control signals from other robot modules to control the relative rotation of the first and second housings of the subunit module; and/or the subunit module receives an external force so that the first and second housings rotate relative to each other.

  • Publication number: 20220413511
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of robots, and particularly relates to a robot control method, a robot control system and a modular robot. The robot control method includes the steps of: T1: providing a robot, with at least one wheel and at least one motion posture; T2: regulating the robot to a motion posture, saving motion-posture information corresponding to the motion posture, and generating preset action control information based on the speed of the wheel and the motion-posture information; T3: constructing and forming an operating model based on the preset action control information; and T4: outputting, by the operating model, actual motion control information of a motion according to user's input to control the robot to perform the motion. Thus, it is convenient to set motion modes to meet the diverse needs of users, and the design space of the robot suitable for more scenarios is increased.
