Exemplarily, it is set to 6); a radar bracket 114 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the installation platform 110, and the lidar 115 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the radar bracket 114, and a battery 113 is arranged below the radar bracket 114; the grasping mechanism includes a five-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 130 installed at the front end of the installation platform 110, and a mechanical claw 140 is installed at the top of the five-degree-of-freedom robotic arm;

As Figure 1 shown, wheel mechanisms 300 are installed at the four corners of the chassis bracket 201, and each wheel mechanism 300 is connected to the chassis bracket 201 through a shock-absorbing rotation mechanism 400;
[0041] The control mechanism 117 is used to judge whether the target position is reached according to the image captured by the depth camera and the information obtained by the lidar 115, and control the grasping mechanism to grasp the detonator 112 after determining that the target position is reached; and, it is used to control the shock-absorbing rotation mechanism 400 according to the image captured by the depth camera, so that the chassis base 200 is raised or lowered.
[0042] The mine blasting robot provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applicable to mine blasting operations. During blasting operations, the depth camera completes the recognition and positioning of the target hole, provides the target point for the robot's navigation, and at the same time provides the three-dimensional coordinate information of the target point for the subsequent tasks of the robotic arm.
