The legs of the robot often adopt an elbow type or knee type structure, namely, the legs, the knee joints, the lower legs and the like are obvious, and the difference is that the knee joints are bent towards the front of the body or the back of the body. Chinese patent document CN1883994A discloses an artificial leg of an anthropomorphic biped robot, wherein the knee joint of the leg adopts a four-bar linkage structure and drives the knee joint to rotate by means of a driving motor. Chinese patent document CN103407514A discloses a four-footed bionic robot leg, which contains two rotary joints. Chinese patent document CN101229826A discloses a lower limb mechanism of a robot, which is characterized in that a parallel four-bar linkage is adopted to realize the mechanism design of the robot upper and lower legs. Chinese patent document CN103448828A discloses a leg mechanism of a four-legged bionic robot, which includes rotary joints such as shoulder joint and knee joint.
The robot designed by the product and the invention simulates the leg structure of human or animal, namely obvious thighs, knee joints and cruses, the structural mode has certain bionic property, however, the supporting legs of the robot have certain knee bending action when walking and walk like a way of walking by a zama step or a quadruped crawling, the motion mode requires a joint actuator to continuously output larger torsion to maintain the posture of the body, and therefore, the motion mode consumes larger energy than a straight leg walking mode in which the supporting legs provide supporting force by leg bones when walking.
