[0002] A detection robot is a robot used to detect and collect environmental information. This type of robot is usually designed to perform tasks in various environments, such as in dangerous areas, unknown areas, or hard-to-reach places. The hexapod robot is a type of bionic robot. The multi-legged structure gives the hexapod robot better stability when moving, and the six legs cooperate with each other to achieve a variety of movement modes. Therefore, compared with wheeled robots and tracked robots, hexapod robots can adapt to various complex terrains. Therefore, hexapod robots are often used in various detection or search and rescue work.
[0003] However, the current multi-legged detection robots, first of all, lack the corresponding buffer design in their structure and are not suitable for detection tasks in complex terrains. Secondly, they are unable to adaptively make corresponding posture and gait adjustments according to the ever-changing terrain during movement. The current multi-legged robots are usually remotely controlled by technicians through a host computer, but due to the limited field of view of the control end, it becomes very difficult for the remote-controlled robot to move appropriately in a complex environment.

[0030] The wireless communication module 31 is mainly a 5G module, and the communication methods mainly include WiFi, Bluetooth, LoRa, etc. Through various wireless communication modules 31, the robot can send the collected image data and sensor data to the cloud. Users can access the data in the cloud, conduct remote analysis and decision-making, and guide the robot to perform exploration tasks. At the same time, users can use cloud radar data to model the environment of the area that the robot has explored and generate an environmental space model.
[0031] The execution module of the present invention includes a drive circuit 12 and 18 bus servos. The drive circuit 12 receives the motion command from the main control board 7 to drive the bus servos. The bus servos use 35kgf·cm specifications to provide a large torque to ensure that the robot will not shake or lose step during walking.
[0032] Furthermore, the air quality detection module includes a gas sensor and a temperature and humidity sensor. By combining the information provided by different sensors, the robot's ability to identify the surrounding space structure and terrain features is improved. At the same time, the gas sensor realizes the detection of abnormal gases in the environment.
[0033] A control method for a six-legged intelligent detection robot comprises the following steps: Step 1: When the robot is started, the main control board 7 starts to operate, reading the data fed back by the data processing module 11 and the drive circuit (12) to detect the environmental status and hardware operation status. Then, the main control board 7 calibrates the posture of each servo of the robot, completes the posture initialization at power-on and the preparation of each sensor. When the self-checking link is completed and no fault is found, the robot is ready to perform the detection task; Step 2: The wireless communication module 31 of the main control board 7 establishes a connection with the cloud and the user device; Step 3: The user device issues a detection task to the main control board 7 through the wireless communication module 31. The main control board 7 issues a work instruction to the laser radar 9 and the depth camera 10. The laser radar 9 and the depth camera 10 initially obtain information about the surrounding environment and road conditions. The main control board 7 preliminarily plans the task path according to the information data. At the same time, the main control board 7 drives the circuit 12 to issue a motion control instruction. The driving circuit 12 drives the steering gears of the robot to complete the gait change and posture adjustment. The robot detects along the preset path. Step 4: During the robot's movement, the laser radar 9 performs laser pulse ranging in real time, the depth camera 10 captures three-dimensional visual information in real time, and the air quality detection module collects the gas, temperature and humidity information around the robot in real time. The laser radar 9, the depth camera 10, and the air quality detection module send the real-time collected information to the data processing module 11, and the data processing module 11 processes the received information and sends it to the main control board 7. The main control board makes decisions independently based on the data and drives the robot through the drive circuit 12 to adjust the robot's gait, posture and position; Step 5: The main control board 7 transmits the received information and the decision made by itself to the cloud and the user device in real time through the wireless communication module 31. The user device confirms whether it is necessary to change the task target according to the received information. If not, no control instruction is issued. If necessary, a new control instruction is issued to the main control board 7 through the wireless communication module 31. The main control board 7 drives the robot to adjust the robot's gait, posture and position according to the new control instruction through the driving circuit 12; Step 4: Repeat Step 4- Step 5 until all detection tasks are completed.
[0034] Furthermore, the depth camera 10 and the laser radar 9 provide the robot with environmental information from different dimensions. The depth camera 10 can capture three-dimensional visual information that can capture dynamic environmental changes, such as moving objects or changes in terrain; while the laser radar 9 provides high-precision distance information through laser pulse ranging and scanning, and generates a two-dimensional or three-dimensional environmental map. The data processing module 11 generates a two-dimensional or three-dimensional environmental map based on the laser pulse ranging detected by the laser radar 9, provides real-time obstacle avoidance data for the robot, and generates point cloud data and depth images based on the three-dimensional visual information captured by the depth camera 10, which are used to identify and locate target objects in the environment.
[0035] The depth camera 10 uses a depth perception camera. Through the coordinated work of the depth perception camera, the laser radar 9 and the air quality detection module, the robot's perception ability in complex environments is greatly improved. Combined with the powerful computing power of Jetson Nano B01, through the dual perception mechanism supported by data fusion and intelligent algorithms, the robot can dynamically adjust the path of travel to ensure the smooth completion of tasks in complex environments, and promote the robot to achieve a higher level of environmental perception and task execution capabilities.
[0036] By fusing sensor data, vision and ranging information are complemented, and the robot can build a more accurate environmental model, thereby having a comprehensive perception of surrounding objects and obstacles when navigating.
[0037] The air quality detection module provides the robot with information on the safety status of the environment, allowing the robot to not only "see" objects and measure distances, but also "sense" the components in the air. By combining air quality data with visual and distance information, the robot can evaluate the overall state of the environment in real time and predict and avoid potential risks. When the robot enters certain areas, if the air quality detection module detects that the concentration of harmful gases such as SO2, H2S, NH3 is too high, the control system can plan a safer detour based on the map generated by the lidar, and send air environment data to the user device through the wireless communication module. This path optimization mechanism can not only detect environmental information in real time, but also prevent the robot from being exposed to corrosive gases for a long time, which is especially important when performing long-term inspections or large-scale detection tasks.
[0038] The robot adopts an edge computing architecture, using Jetson nano b01 and Jetson Xavier NX to process sensor data in layers. The large amount of data generated by the depth camera 10 and the lidar 9 is first pre-processed locally, such as image denoising, point cloud filtering, and cluster analysis of laser scanning data, to reduce data transmission pressure. The real-time data of the air quality detection module is also preliminarily analyzed on the edge side, for example, by threshold filtering to quickly determine the changing trend of air quality.
[0039] These pre-processed data will be further integrated and analyzed to generate high-precision environmental models and decision-making instructions. In complex mission scenarios, robots can upload key data to the cloud for more advanced analysis and long-term data storage, realizing an intelligent data processing architecture that combines edge computing with the cloud.
