Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent robot technology, and in particular to a force feedback dual-arm collaborative robot. Background Technology

[0002] In hazardous environments, particularly in explosives disposal, robotic systems have become crucial equipment for ensuring personnel safety. However, current robots used in such high-risk operations are generally equipped with only a single robotic arm to perform core tasks such as inspecting, detecting, and disposing of explosive devices, and their development costs are prohibitive.

[0003] The aforementioned single-arm system has significant limitations: its dexterity, operating range, and load capacity are all restricted. This not only makes it difficult for the robot to complete tasks requiring precise collaborative operation, but also increases the risk of accidentally triggering an explosion due to operational limitations. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a highly human-like, dual-arm collaborative robot designed for hazardous environments to simulate the collaborative capabilities of human arms, enabling the safe and precise handling of explosives, thereby significantly reducing risks and threats.
