Abstract
A multi-modal robot system capable of realizing autonomous submarine docking and reconstruction, includes a non-contact charging platform, several functional modules and a docking robot, wherein a coil is arranged on the non-contact charging platform, and energy and signals are transmitted between the coil and the functional modules; each of the functional modules includes a propeller module, an energy module, an observation detection module, an operation tool module, a navigation control module, a bow detection module and a tail propulsion module; and according to an instruction of a docking and reconstruction task, the docking robot reconstructs a multi-modal underwater robot by docking specific functional modules. The multi-modal robot system of the present invention can reconstruct the operation modal of the robot according to actual needs, realize the reconstruction and assembly of the underwater robot with three motion modes of horizontal plane cruise, fixed-point operation and vertical profiling, and reduce cost.
