The neural stimulator is a core component of animal robots. While the control effect of animal robots is influenced by various factors, the performance of the neural stimulator plays a decisive role in regulating animal robots. In order to optimize animal robots, embedded neural stimulators had been developed using flexible printed circuit board technology. This innovation not only enabled the stimulator to generate parameter-adjustable biphasic current pulses through control signals, but also optimized its carrying mode, material, and size, overcoming the disadvantages of traditional backpack or head-inserted stimulators, which have poor concealment and are prone to infection. Static, , and performance tests of the stimulator demonstrated that it not only had precise pulse waveform output capability, but also was lightweight and small in size. It had excellent performance in both laboratory and outdoor environments. Our study has high practical significance for the application of animal robots.
神经刺激器是动物机器人的核心部件。虽然动物机器人的控制效果受多种因素影响，但神经刺激器的性能在调节动物机器人方面起着决定性作用。为了优化动物机器人，已采用柔性印刷电路板技术开发了嵌入式神经刺激器。这一创新不仅使刺激器能够通过控制信号产生参数可调的双相电流脉冲，还优化了其携带方式、材料和尺寸，克服了传统背包式或头戴式刺激器隐蔽性差且易感染的缺点。对该刺激器的静态、 以及 性能测试表明，它不仅具有精确的脉冲波形输出能力，而且重量轻、体积小。在实验室和户外环境中均具有出色的 性能。我们的研究对动物机器人的应用具有很高的实际意义。
