[0054] The intelligent computing subsystem 50 is used to process the acquired motion data, measurement data, temperature information and related data to determine the tasks to be executed.

[0055] In this invention, the fully autonomous embodied intelligent mobile robot system architecture, constructed from a structure and mobility subsystem, a perception subsystem, a power supply subsystem, a thermal control subsystem, and an intelligent computing subsystem, not only possesses embodied functions such as a mobile physical entity and fully autonomous environmental interaction, perception, and decision-making, but also supports the embodied intelligent agent to achieve fully autonomous perception, navigation, movement, photography, and communication in complex and unknown environments where GNSS is denied, through the cooperation between the various subsystems without external intervention.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment, the structure and mobility subsystem 10 transmits the motion data of the mobility mechanism 102 to the intelligent computing subsystem 50 via interfaces such as CAN and Ethernet; the acquisition method is mainly active; the intelligent computing subsystem 50 transmits the motion commands calculated based on the motion data to the mobility subsystem.

[0061] It should be noted that the relevant data or communication data includes motion data and measurement data; among which, measurement data includes topographic data and image data.

[0062] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the moving mechanism 102 includes a motion platform, a motor, and a drive control assembly; the moving mechanism 102 adopts a wheeled motion mechanism, a legged motion mechanism, a tracked motion mechanism, or a hybrid motion mechanism.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the sensing subsystem 20 includes a visual measurement sensor 201, an inertial measurement sensor 202, and an astronomical measurement sensor 203;

[0065] The visual measurement sensor 201 includes at least one of a visible light camera, an infrared camera, and a depth camera, and is used to measure topography.

[0067] The astronomical measurement sensor 203 includes a solar sensor and a star sensor, used to measure the attitude of the embodied intelligent robot relative to the sun's orientation information.

[0068] It should be noted that "at least one" means that there can be one, two, or more. Specifically, the visual measurement sensor can be a visible light camera, an infrared camera, a depth camera, a visible light camera and an infrared camera, a visible light camera and a depth camera, an infrared camera and a depth camera, or a visible light camera, an infrared camera, and a depth camera.

[0072] Determine whether to enter sleep charging state based on the power supply voltage information of the power subsystem.

[0073] In this invention, the fully autonomous embodied intelligent mobile robot system architecture is equipped with a power subsystem, thus possessing self-survival and maintenance capabilities. Through self-powered power supply and temperature control measures, it can maintain autonomous survival in harsh environments while supporting the completion of fully autonomous tasks. At the same time, the power supply adopts both storage batteries and solar cells, which can be used to charge the battery and maintain autonomous survival when the solar cell power is insufficient at night, thereby improving the survivability of the embodied intelligent mobile robot.

[0078] In this invention, the thermal control subsystem employs active and passive thermal control measures such as thermal control coatings, multi-layer thermal insulation material components, thermally conductive fillers, electric heaters, and temperature sensors. When the temperature exceeds or falls below a preset temperature threshold, heat dissipation or insulation is used to ensure the adaptability of the embodied intelligent mobile robot to ambient temperature during operation and storage. Through the combination of self-powered power supply and temperature control measures, it can maintain autonomous survival in harsh environments while supporting the completion of fully autonomous tasks, ensuring that the embodied intelligent mobile robot can survive and operate stably in both high and low temperature environments, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the embodied intelligent mobile robot.

[0082] Determine the safe zone based on topographic data;

[0083] The attitude, heading, velocity, and position information of the embodied intelligent robot are determined based on inertial motion state data, attitude information, and motion data.

[0085] The framing position is determined on a safe movement path, and the perception subsystem takes pictures to obtain the captured images.

[0086] In this invention, the embodied intelligent mobile robot possesses measurement and data acquisition capabilities, environmental perception, navigation, path planning, smooth movement, framing and photography capabilities, wireless communication, sleep charging, and behavioral decision-making. Specifically, the embodied intelligent mobile robot can autonomously measure the terrain, sun direction, gravity direction, motion inertia, and its own motion state in the surrounding natural scene using its onboard sensors, collecting and processing the data to obtain measurement data. Then, it uses the measurement data to autonomously perceive and identify the surrounding terrain and perform relative navigation, determining safe areas and obstacle terrain. Next, it estimates its own attitude, heading, speed, and position information using the measurement data to further perceive and determine navigation results, autonomously planning a safe movement path based on the mobility of its mobile mechanism. Because the mobile mechanism has a motion platform, motors, and drive control components, it has a certain ability to climb slopes and overcome obstacles, enabling smooth movement in natural terrain. Subsequently, it reaches the framing position according to the safe movement path, uses a visual measurement sensor to frame and compose the photographic target, obtain the optimal photographing position and posture, and then takes the picture. Then, based on the wireless communication subsystem, it autonomously establishes wireless communication with other intelligent agents to exchange key information during the task process, including measurement data, motion data, its own state, and task results. Furthermore, the power supply subsystem can utilize its own power supply to provide energy for measurement, sensing, behavior, and communication; it also provides temperature protection to achieve self-survival in complex and unknown environments; it can monitor power supply and temperature, and autonomously enter hibernation charging mode when needed to maintain its own energy supply and survivability. Thus, the intelligent computing subsystem performs fully autonomous scheduling and decision-making for tasks such as measurement data acquisition and processing, perception and navigation calculation, motion control, image capture, information communication transmission, and system status monitoring.

It can be integrated into the intelligent computing subsystem via embedding or designed and implemented independently as a separate unit, connected to the wireless communication subsystem via a wired connection. The wireless communication subsystem can adopt mobile communication or WiFi communication methods as needed, and can also add wired communication interfaces if necessary, supporting both wireless and wired communication.
