AI Technical Summary
When the robotic arm of an existing inspection robot is gripping a heavy object, the center of gravity tends to shift as the distance between the object and the robot's base increases, causing it to tip over.
A multi-axis robotic arm structure was designed, including a turntable, a large arm, a middle arm, a small arm, and a gripping device. The telescopic mechanism is synchronously adjusted by driving a counterweight through a power component to keep the robot's center of gravity stable at the center of the tracked vehicle.
This effectively prevents the robot from tipping over when gripping heavy objects, improving the stability and operational flexibility of the robotic arm.
