Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of patrol robots, in particular to a robot capable of supervision and patrolling. Background Art

[0002] In the rapidly advancing smart city architecture, patrol robots, as a signature element of intelligent security, play a vital role in daily patrol missions on city streets. However, the application of this innovative technology is not without challenges, especially when facing unpredictable external physical interference, the durability and protection performance of patrol robots have become key constraints to their widespread application. Especially when the robot is performing a task, it encounters sudden collisions with external objects, such as pebbles kicked up accidentally by pedestrians, branches blown down by the wind, or even objects thrown by people as a prank. These may cause varying degrees of damage to the robot, ranging from minor scratches to serious structural damage, and even failure of core components, which not only directly affects the continuity and efficiency of patrol missions, but also greatly increases the cost of maintenance and repair.

[0003] From the perspective of robot structural design, patrol robots currently on the market tend to focus more on functional integration and the improvement of intelligence levels, while not paying enough attention to physical protection capabilities. Although the shell materials used by most robots are light and have a certain degree of pressure resistance, their protection level is relatively weak in the face of sudden impacts in complex and changeable urban environments. In addition, the layout of the precision electronic components inside the robot is compact and lacks an effective buffer isolation design. Once the external impact penetrates the shell, it is very easy to cause internal circuit short circuits or damage to important components, seriously affecting the normal operation of the robot.

[0004] The robot's perception and obstacle avoidance system also shows certain limitations when dealing with dynamic and complex external interference. Although equipped with a variety of sensors such as lidar, ultrasonic sensors and machine vision systems to achieve environmental perception and obstacle recognition, existing technologies often find it difficult to respond immediately and accurately to fast-moving objects or small objects that suddenly appear, thus missing the best opportunity to avoid them and directly suffering from the impact of external objects.

[0005] The working environment of patrol robots on the streets is extremely diverse, including but not limited to extreme weather, road construction areas, crowded crowds, etc. These factors greatly increase the risk of robots being hit by foreign objects. For example, in rainy and snowy weather, the slippery road surface may cause the robot to move unsteadily, making it more likely to fall or be hit by foreign objects; in crowded areas, robots must not only be careful to avoid pedestrians, but also be vigilant against collisions with objects discarded casually.

[0006] Therefore, how to provide a robot that can supervise and patrol is a problem that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve. Utility Model Content
