Abstract
A modularly assembled full-automatic tunneling and rock-breaking robot and a working method using the modularly assembled full-automatic tunneling and rock-breaking robot are provided. The modularly assembled full-automatic tunneling and rock-breaking robot includes a robot main body module, and stress advance relief modules and rock-breaking modules arranged on the robot main body module. The robot main body module is configured to carry the stress advance relief modules and the rock-breaking modules, and adjust a height and a position of the modularly assembled full-automatic tunneling and rock-breaking robot; the stress advance relief modules are configured to release stress accumulated inside a rock mass in front of a working face in advance by drilling holes; and the rock-breaking modules are configured to drill holes into the rock mass and apply radial forces inside the holes to break the rock mass into pieces.
