[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, a control system for an ARM-based embedded mine inspection robot includes a host computer, an ARM control system, a communication collection system, a motion control system, a relay control system and a display system. The host computer communicates with the ARM control system through the wireless communication LoRa module and the WiFi module. The host computer sends instructions to the ARM control system to control the motion control system and the relay control system to control the movement of the mine inspection robot and the front and rear light switches. At the same time, the communication collection system collects the underground mine environment data, the battery status of the inspection robot and the status information of the inspection robot. When the environmental data collected by the communication collection system is higher than the set threshold or an obstacle is detected, the ARM control system controls the mine inspection robot to stop moving and reports it to the display system for display. When the communication collection system collects that the battery power of the inspection robot is lower than the set threshold, it is reported to the display system for display, and the alarm indicator light alarms.

[0018] The ARM control system uses the STM32F429 chip based on the ARM Cortex-M4 core. The STM32F429 has rich internal resources and external expansion functions, and is widely used in industrial control, automotive electronics, medical equipment and other industries.

[0020] In this embodiment, smoke sensors and methane sensors are used to collect real-time environmental data information in the mine, and the collected data is compared with a preset threshold. When the environmental data in the mine is higher than the set threshold, the ARM control system controls the alarm indicator light in the display system to sound an alarm, and at the same time uploads it to the host computer and display system for display, reminding workers that it is not suitable to work underground at this time.
