Soft Growing Robot Having Folding Type Growing Unit

Abstract

A growth-type soft robot including a folding growth unit according to the present invention includes a housing including a body part having an accommodation space therein and one side of which is opened, and a fixing part formed along the perimeter of the opened area of the body part, the An outer periphery connected to the fixing part from the outside of the housing, and a folding area that is connected to the inside from the outer periphery and extends into the accommodation space, at least some of the areas accommodated in the accommodation space are accommodated in a multi-stage folded state. It includes an inner periphery, and the inner periphery is switched to the outer periphery side by the pressure of the air supplied between the outer periphery and the inner periphery, and extends long along the center surrounded by the growth unit and the inner periphery extending forward in length and a data collection unit including a cable and a sensor module provided at the front end of the cable to acquire predetermined data.
