Driven by gravity and feed force, the robot moves to the vicinity of the trapped target along the gap formed by the collapsed building. By utilizing the flexible characteristic of the robot, when the included angle between the axis of the robot and the surface of the obstacle is in the range of [ -50 degrees and 50 degrees ], the robot conforms to and passes through the obstacle under the action of the feeding force and the bounce force of the obstacle; when the robot exceeds the range, the robot end module actively generates deformation to adapt to the obstacle and pass through the obstacle under the action of the feeding force.

Through terminal integrated camera and the LED lamp of robot, can realize the remote control operation under the dark surrounds, improve the working space of robot.
