[0002] A material transfer robot is an automatic device that can imitate certain movements of human arms and is used to grab and move objects according to a fixed program. Its characteristic is that it can be programmed to complete various expected operations. In industry, material transfer robots are mostly planar joint robots, which can replace heavy human labor. They are an important part of the production line and have become the core of modern manufacturing and processing systems. Especially in harsh working environments, the automation of material transfer devices has become an inevitable choice.

[0003] In the processing workshop, after the materials are scanned and processed, they need to be transported to the next process for processing or transferred to a carrier in a specific area. However, the existing robots can only complete simple grabbing and moving of objects. If the process is more complicated, such as adding a waste material detection mechanism and sucking up the waste and storing it separately, or the operating table needs to operate in a large range, a large-arm robot is required to complete it. This is a huge challenge for the compact equipment space, and one more process will make the operation process of the robot more complicated, which will greatly reduce the work efficiency of the robot and cannot meet the actual work needs.

[0004] There is an urgent need for a small rotating arm robot that can meet the requirements of extracting materials from a carrier on a workstation and accurately transferring them to a specific area or to a carrier on the next workstation, reducing space, and being simple to operate and easy to control.
