[0048] Specifically, as Figure 3As shown, the moving guide rail 2 includes a horizontal guide rail 15, a vertical guide rail 16, a first slider 17 and a second slider 18. The two vertical guide rails 16 are fixedly arranged on the opposite surfaces of the second portal frame 106. The first slider 17 is slidably connected to the vertical guide rail 16.

The contact area can be calculated according to the size of the bright spot obtained later, and the data is transmitted into the PLC controller. The PLC controller performs operations according to the obtained program to judge the motion performance of the robot leg structure and the actuator; the fixed high-speed camera 601 is approximately coplanar with the acrylic plate.
