The invention discloses a rescue robot for underground coal mine safety rescue route detection. The rescue robot comprises a robot body, a travelling mechanism, an electric travelling drive mechanism and an electronic circuit board, an underground environmental information monitoring system, a GPS (global positioning system) positioning unit, a travelling direction monitoring unit, a data storage unit, a travelling route storage unit, a first processor, a second processor, a display unit, a remote wireless communication unit, a parameter setting unit are and clock circuit are arranged on the electronic circuit board, the data storage unit is stored with underground environmental information corresponding to multiple environmental danger levels, the first processor analyzes and processes information monitored by the underground environmental information monitoring system according to the information stored in the data storage unit and correspondingly judges environmental danger level at each travelling position, and the second data processor synchronously labels the underground environmental danger levels at all the travelling positions. The rescue robot is reasonable in structural design, simple and convenient to operate, high in intelligent degree, good in using effect, and capable of automatically and rapidly drawing a safety rescue route.
