[0038] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment of the present application, a robot emergency response system is provided, comprising:

[0039] The perception module is used to monitor the robot status and environmental status in real time and send the monitoring results to the processing module;

[0040] A processing module, used to determine whether the robot is in an emergency situation according to the monitoring results sent by the perception module, and generate emergency handling instructions;

[0041] The execution module is used to execute corresponding emergency handling actions according to the emergency handling instructions generated by the processing module.

[0043] In a specific implementation scheme, the perception module includes a visual sensor, a pressure sensor, a vibration sensor, and an ambient light sensor.

[0044] In a specific implementation scheme, the processing module includes a second core motherboard of the robot.

[0045] In a specific implementation scheme, the execution module includes a motor, a video recorder and an alarm module.

[0046] In a specific embodiment, it also includes:

[0047] Wireless remote control module, used for remote control when the robot fails.

[0048] refer to Figure 3 Specifically, the robot emergency response system includes:

[0049] 1. Perception module

[0050] The perception module includes a variety of sensors, such as visual sensors, pressure sensors, vibration sensors, ambient light sensors, etc., which are used to monitor the robot and environmental status in real time.

[0051] 2. Processing module

[0052] The processing module, as the second core motherboard of the robot, includes an emergency response algorithm, which is used to determine whether the robot is in an emergency situation based on the monitoring results sent by the perception module and generate emergency response instructions.

[0053] 3. Execution module

[0054] The execution module includes a variety of actuators, such as motors, video recorders, alarm modules, etc., which are used to execute corresponding emergency response actions according to the emergency response instructions generated by the processing module.

[0055] refer to Figure 3 , further, the execution process of the robot emergency response system is:

[0056] 1. The parameters of the wheels on the track are read in real time through the pressure sensor. Since the weight of the whole machine is evenly distributed among multiple wheel groups, the pressure distributed to each wheel group is the same, and the pressure sensor value is fed back to the second core motherboard of the robot in real time;

[0057] 2. The light sensor reads the light value between the rails of the track robot in real time. The rails are galvanized silver-white. If an abnormal value is read, it will be reported and transmitted to the second core motherboard of the robot in real time;

[0058] 3. Use the vibration sensor to obtain real-time information such as jitter during the operation of the robot, and report any abnormalities to the robot's second core motherboard;

[0059] 4. Video cameras are located at both ends of the robot close to the track and above the wheel set. There are three sets of cameras in total. They record the running video of the robot in abnormal state through real-time recording and save it independently to the SD card for later traceability processing;

[0060] 5. Motor feedback: read the abnormal point through the motor pulse counter and send it back;

[0061] 6. The robot's second core motherboard is mainly composed of the core main control chip STM32F407 series. It makes an execution plan based on the information sent back by the sensing module and determines whether to alarm.

[0062] For example; the values ​​sent back by the pressure sensor, vibration sensor and light sensor are analyzed for abnormal points through the core main control chip, and then the abnormal points are found through the abnormal pulse counter. In this way, the specific location where the robot finds the abnormality on the track can be discovered, which is convenient for later processing; at the same time, a command is issued to brake the equipment motor and stop running on track until it is processed by later maintenance personnel, and a video recording and saving command is issued. At the time of the abnormality, the video will automatically save 1 minute before and after the problem point, which is convenient for later tracing; in specific situations, if the robot can still operate and does not affect safety, the second core motherboard of the robot takes over the entire equipment, cuts off the control of the original main control board, and uses short-range wireless remote control to retreat the robot to a safe area for maintenance and inspection.

[0063] 7. Wireless remote control module: Select the 433 communication mode which is less susceptible to interference and easy to operate. As the emergency response module of the whole machine, when the robot fails, it can be remotely controlled, switch to the second core motherboard to control the robot, and move it to a safe area for treatment and maintenance.
