Mobile Surface-Processing Robot Arm With Linear Boom Alignment

The robot arm is divided into multiple modular segments (base unit, lifting unit, boom unit, jib unit, arm unit) that can be independently controlled and configured. This segmentation allows the system to achieve complex processing flexibility while keeping each individual segment lightweight and manageable, resolving the contradiction between overall system flexibility and total device weight.

The robot arm employs dynamic positioning with multiple degrees of freedom (azimuth angle, elevation angle, boom extension, jib extension, arm extension) that can be adjusted in real-time during operation. This dynamic adaptability provides processing flexibility without requiring a permanently heavy structure, as the system only adds mass where and when needed for specific tasks.

The system is divided into transportable modular units that can be disassembled and reconfigured. The base unit contains the control system and power supply, while the robot arm segments can be detached and transported separately, enabling high-precision processing equipment to be easily moved between different construction sites without requiring heavy-duty transport infrastructure.

The robot arm's geometric parameters (boom length, jib length, arm length, extension ranges) can be adjusted to optimize for either precision or transportability depending on the application. The system maintains high processing precision through controlled parameter adjustments rather than relying solely on increased mass, allowing the same equipment to achieve precision results while remaining easily transportable.

The robot arm is designed as a universal system capable of performing multiple surface processing tasks (painting, coating, inspection, repair) through a single integrated platform. The modular segments can be configured for different applications, and the system can adapt to various building structures (walls, ceilings, columns) without requiring separate specialized equipment, thereby providing high processing capability while maintaining ease of use through standardized operation procedures.

The robot arm incorporates self-positioning and self-adjustment capabilities through its multiple degrees of freedom and control system. The system can autonomously navigate and position itself on complex building structures, reducing the need for complex external setup and operation. This self-service capability provides versatile processing ability while maintaining simplicity and ease of use for the operator.

The system replaces complex mechanical path planning with electronic control and sensor-based navigation. The robot arm uses electronic actuators and control algorithms to achieve precise positioning and movement along complex paths, eliminating the need for sophisticated mechanical linkages and manual path calculation. This substitution maintains high processing accuracy while significantly reducing operational complexity and training requirements.

The robot arm incorporates sensors and control systems that provide real-time feedback on position, orientation, and processing quality. This feedback mechanism enables the system to automatically adjust its path and movements to maintain processing accuracy without requiring complex pre-planning or sophisticated operator intervention. The closed-loop control simplifies operation while preserving high precision through continuous monitoring and adjustment.
