[0002] An off-road robot is a robot specifically designed to move and work in rough or complex terrains. It combines the characteristics of vehicle robots and bionic robots, and can move freely in environments such as deserts, swamps, jungles, mountains, deserts, snowfields, etc., and complete various tasks. Off-road robots can be equipped with various sensors, such as cameras, lidars, etc., to help detect and construct maps. In addition, they can easily cross rough terrains, providing support for scientists, archaeologists, etc. to explore unknown areas. In terms of surveying and exploration, off-road robots can travel along a predetermined trajectory according to user needs and record relevant data, which can be used to construct three-dimensional maps and geological structure information.
