In order to protect important building settings, active electromagnetic protection or electromagnetic interference of large equipment may exist, so that a traditional wireless-based robot receives larger interference in the signal transmission process and is not suitable for the robot.
Preferably, the survey robot 200 of the present invention is powered and communicates in a wired manner. The wired energy supply not only reduces the load of the robot with a power supply, but also can continue the journey for a long time, and during communication, the signal quality and the speed can be ensured no matter the control instruction or the information data are returned, and particularly, the robot is free from environmental influence in complex environments with high magnetic fields, no signals, high crosswind levels and the like.

In the invention, the surveying robot 200 and a remote server can form a surveying system, the data processing of storing a large amount of data and comparing the consumed calculation force can be completed by the server, and the server sends corresponding instructions to the robot, and in some scenes, a field handheld terminal can be configured to be connected with the robot and send the instructions in real time. In the present invention, the top side 100 and the bottom side 101 of the support body 1 are the relative concepts, for example, when the robot walks along the working surface, the side facing the working surface is the bottom side 101, and the other side is the top side 100.
Referring to fig. 6 to 9, the support body 1 has a frame structure having a flat configuration as a whole, and a top side 100 and a bottom side 101 are provided on both sides in the thickness direction. The frame structure has a large number of hollowed-out areas, so that the frame structure can be better adapted to the application scene of the invention, the weight of the frame structure is reduced as much as possible on the premise of ensuring the structural strength, and the wind resistance and the anti-overturning performance of the frame structure can be improved by adopting a flat configuration.
The frame structure comprises a top frame 11 and a bottom frame 12 which are overlapped at intervals and are sheet-shaped, and a plurality of reinforcing pieces fixed between the top frame 11 and the bottom frame 12, wherein the top frame 11 and the bottom frame 12 are matched with each other in shape and comprise a plurality of annular parts 14 and a plurality of wheel seats 15, each set of rotor wing assemblies 2 is positioned in the corresponding annular part 14, the wheel seats 15 are arranged in a protruding mode relative to the adjacent annular parts 14, and the plurality of travelling wheels 3 are respectively arranged on the corresponding wheel seats 15. In view of the problem of simplifying the overall structure, the top frame 11 and the bottom frame 12 are respectively of an integral structure, the reinforcing members are a plurality of upright posts 13 arranged at intervals, and the annular portions 14 are directly connected or connected by a reinforcing bar 16 in the form of a bar.
The frame structure of the invention is made of carbon fiber, has lighter weight and relatively higher strength, and makes the surveying robot 200 more flexible in operation. In the present embodiment, the distance between the top frame 11 and the bottom frame 12 is 2 to 6cm, and the single thickness of the top frame 11 and the bottom frame 12 is 2 to 5mm.
In order to fit the wired mode, one side of the support body 1 is provided with a connecting sleeve 17, and a cable 18 is connected with corresponding circuit components in the surveying robot 200 after penetrating the connecting sleeve 17 from outside. The cable 18 and the connecting sleeve 17 are relatively fixed, and conventional tightening, clamping or bonding means can be adopted.
Preferably, in the connection sleeve 17, a side through which the cable 18 is externally penetrated is an inlet side 171, and the inner wall of the connection sleeve 17 is provided with a pressure sensor disposed at the inlet side 171 to detect a force between the cable 18 and the inner wall of the connection sleeve 17. The force may indicate the relative slack, taut state of the cable 18, or the turning orientation of the cable 18 at the location of the connection sleeve 17, which may be used to assist in controlling the robot.
In order to identify the bending direction of the cable 18 with respect to the connection sleeve 17, the inlet side 171 of the connection sleeve 17 includes a plurality (e.g., 4 to 8) of mounting lugs 172 arranged at uniform intervals in the circumferential direction, and each pressure sensor is fixed to the inner side of each mounting lug 172. The relative values of the various pressure sensors can thus identify whether the cable 18 is slack or not and the direction of bending. For example, when the cable 18 tends to be straightened, the robot travel speed is appropriately adjusted to avoid additional pulling force on the cable 18.
Regarding the number of rotor assemblies 2 that can be configured accordingly in terms of their power and the loading of the survey robot 200, four sets are preferred in view of the rationality of the overall layout and the handling, and correspondingly, the frame structure has four annular portions 14 distributed at the four corners of a rectangular area (the area surrounded by the four annular portions 14, the stiffener 16 comprising: edge bars 161 annularly arranged around the rectangular area; an inner lever 162 connects the two annular portions 14 on the same side of the rectangular area to each other.

In particular for the negative cable condition, the cable 18 extends substantially in the reference line direction, which arrangement enables the survey robot 200 to be stressed more evenly and run more smoothly.
Referring to fig. 10-11, a vector rotor system is used to provide the power for walking, flying, obstacle surmounting, etc. movements of survey robot 200.

In addition, the first axes of all the rotor wing assemblies 2 are located between the top frame 11 and the bottom frame 12 in the frame structure, so that the robot is stressed more uniformly when the rotor wing assemblies 2 work, and the robot is not easy to turn on one's side.

When the obstacle surmounting, the first steering engine 22 and the second steering engine 24 start to work, and the rotating angle of the vector rotor system is changed, so that the front end of the surveying robot 200 is lifted up to directly climb up the obstacle surface. When encountering an obstacle incapable of climbing, the device can fly over the obstacle by switching to the flight mode, and then switch to the climbing mode after flying over the obstacle.
When the control method provided herein is implemented by the robot provided by the invention, the survey robot has a climbing mode and a flight mode. Under the climbing mode, the walking wheel is matched with the working face in a walking way under the action of the vector rotor system, and when the working face is inclined, the downward pressure of the walking wheel and the working face is provided through the vector rotor system. In the flight mode, the road wheels are far away from the working surface. If the working tasks are performed based on the robot cluster system (comprising at least one negative cable robot in addition to the survey robot), the negative cable robot follows correspondingly during the working process of the survey robot.

Referring to fig. 39-40, in one embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided a control method implemented in a process based on operation of a full vector survey cluster system, comprising: constructing a working surface map; the robots travel in a queue mode, collect image information of a current working position and perform surface feature recognition when reaching a preset working position in a working surface map, and keep the current working position in a climbing mode in the process of collecting information data; and carrying out corresponding processing according to the identification result.
The control method mainly comprises the steps of building a working face map and inspecting the working face. The building of the working face map comprises the following steps: establishing a coordinate system and dividing subareas; obtaining a two-dimensional working surface map; a three-dimensional form of the work surface map is obtained. Inspection of a work surface, comprising: confirming the current position of the robot; and identifying and marking the building defects on the working surface map.
In one embodiment, for a larger area of the work surface, the control method further comprises:
establishing a coordinate system, which specifically comprises the following steps: the surveying robot reaches an origin position P, moves to a reference point along a preset coordinate axis in a pointing mode, obtains a connecting line between the origin and the reference point, corresponds the connecting line to a working face map, and calculates to obtain the pointing direction of the other coordinate axis and a coordinate system formed by the two coordinate axes;
dividing the subareas specifically comprises: the working surface is divided into a plurality of rectangular subareas in a coordinate system according to a preset side length.
It will be appreciated that the position feedback of the survey robot and the server is done through the coordinate system during the operation of the survey robot. As shown in the figure, the X, Y coordinate system in the work surface 210 is a real physical coordinate system, the coordinate systems in the work surface map 211 are X 'and Y' are coordinate systems mapped based on the work surface 210. The same origin position P is mapped as P' in the work surface map. The divided sub-areas may be, for example, A1, A2, A3 sub-areas.
The establishment of the coordinate system is thus necessary at the beginning of the survey robot operation. The coordinate system is established by means of the collected and spliced image information. The origin point is the position of the surveying robot at the beginning of work, and the reference point and the origin point are both positioned on the spliced image, so that the establishment of a coordinate system can be realized, and the instruction interaction of the surveying robot and the server is facilitated.
The division of the working subareas may be, for example, according to the maximum length of the adjacent robot cables or according to the working limit path of the robot. When a plurality of robots are adopted, each robot walks synchronously while keeping the relative distance constant, and the working efficiency is improved. The sub-areas may be square, for example, and the side length may be ten meters to two hundred meters, for example, fifty meters.
When the current position is confirmed, the surface features are matched, and the user views the working surface map, the working efficiency can be improved by calling the data units of the subareas one by one. The survey robot performs path planning prior to operation, the path planning being performed for each sub-area. By dividing the individual sub-areas, the process of path planning is optimized. The division of the subareas can be based on physical identification, and the working face which has obtained the coordinate system can be divided through a server.
When constructing, modifying data storage of the working surface map and using the working surface map to make data call, three definition levels can be involved, and the definition (or according to the size of the data volume) can be respectively used for displaying:
the whole working surface map with the lowest definition can be obtained by photographing a robot in a flight mode; a working face map of a sub-area; after specific coordinates are designated, a working surface map in the vicinity of the coordinate position is displayed.
The working face map is obtained by splicing image information acquired from a plurality of working positions in the historical working process, and specifically comprises the following steps: traversing all areas of the working surface, and splicing the obtained image information to obtain a two-dimensional working surface map. Traversing all regions of the working surface, including traversing one or all of the partitioned sub-regions. The image information is for example the picture 212 shown in fig. 40c, where the dashed line indicates the robot travel path.
In this embodiment, the image information is acquired by an image acquisition component. The surveying robot is transferred between a plurality of working positions during working, and when reaching a preset working position, information data of a working surface are acquired by using an information acquisition device.
Splicing the obtained image information to obtain a two-dimensional working surface map, which specifically comprises the following steps: positioning surface features in the image information by using an image texture algorithm; and when the local areas of the pictures to be spliced have the same surface characteristics, registering and splicing the pictures to be spliced according to the same surface characteristics.
The texture of building defects is characteristic and significant, as is the fingerprint of a person, and the texture of no two building defects is exactly the same. The server can identify and mark the building defects (cracks, pits, roughness, bulges and the like) through image information by collecting, warehousing, comparing and splicing textures of the building defects, so as to instruct the robot to measure and feed back the marks. The high-precision image stitching can be performed through the same texture of the coincident images, and the coincidence degree of the image information of adjacent positions can be correspondingly set according to the step length of the information acquisition equipment and the surveying robot, for example, the coincidence degree for performing the image stitching can be more than 20%.
In the detection process, the method further comprises the steps of utilizing an autonomous judging algorithm in the server to identify the defects of the surface of the working face, using the light supplementing lamp to reduce image noise, and combining the position of the light supplementing lamp to conduct surface feature analysis, so that the detection accuracy is improved.
It will be appreciated that in contrast to the surface features, different architectural defects may be classified or categorized, for example cracks may belong to distinct architectural defects, and location registration may be performed. According to the embodiment, the working face is detected through data splicing instead of manual and conventional unmanned aerial vehicles, the efficiency of robot detection is higher, the safety is higher, the data is more accurate, and the cost is lower.
In one embodiment, the control method further comprises obtaining a three-dimensional form of the work surface map:
when traversing all areas of the working surface, acquiring three-dimensional form data through a laser scanner included in the information acquisition equipment, and performing three-dimensional modeling to obtain a three-dimensional model;
fitting the two-dimensional form of the working surface map to the three-dimensional model to obtain the three-dimensional form of the working surface map.
The work surface map includes a two-dimensional form or a three-dimensional form of the work surface map, both of which may be used for current location confirmation. The three-dimensional form working surface map is three-dimensional terrain data, the three-dimensional form visual effect is better, the height change can be embodied, the data guarantee is provided for obstacle surmounting of the surveying robot, and the three-dimensional form working surface map has an auxiliary effect on obstacle surmounting and mode adjustment of the flight state.
In the embodiment, the surface characteristics in the image information can be obtained, the detection precision is high, and the operation speed is high; the image stitching can correct and de-distort the deformed image in the modes of correction, uniform brightness and the like; the working surface map in a two-dimensional form is fitted to the three-dimensional model, so that the self-adaptive rendering can be realized. In addition, the server may also generate a data report from the captured surface characteristic information.
In one embodiment, the control method further comprises confirming a current position of the robot:
transferring among a plurality of working positions according to a planned path, comparing the image information acquired from the current working position with a working surface map to obtain a comparison result, and splicing the working surface map based on the image information acquired from the plurality of working positions in the historical working process to obtain the working surface map;
and confirming the current working position according to the comparison result.
Comparing the image information acquired from the current working position with a working surface map, specifically comprising:
extracting features of the image information to obtain surface features;
and performing feature matching on the surface features and the working surface map to obtain position coordinates of the surface features relative to the working surface map, wherein the position coordinates correspond to the current position of the surveying robot.
The working surface map is not limited to a specific plane, but refers to a space map composed of all working positions of the survey robot. In the image information acquisition process, at least partial overlapping exists between the image information of the current working position and the working surface map (including the image information which is already spliced), namely, the image information of the current working position can be positioned relative to the working surface map, so that the data archiving and splicing of the image information acquisition are facilitated. In particular, the surface features of the image information include architectural defects that can be used to perform feature matching.
Further, a physical identifier may be set in advance on the working surface. When the surveying robot reaches the position of the physical mark or detects the building defect, the current position of the robot is confirmed by matching corresponding pre-stored images in the server gallery, and then the self-positioning is finished. The physical identifier may be, for example, a two-dimensional code, and relevant information of the two-dimensional code is correspondingly stored in a server gallery. The physical identifier may be marked in advance according to the working area, and the working area may be divided after the identification. A wireless visual field monitoring station can be erected on the working face to monitor the track and the position of the robot and transmit data to the robot in real time to correct the movement direction.
In one embodiment, the control method further comprises:
carrying out surface feature recognition on the image information acquired from the working surface;
and marking the building crack to a working surface map after the building crack is identified as a result of the identification.
The marking to the working surface map can comprise modes such as coordinate identification, analog display and the like, the identification of the surface features can be performed by utilizing an autonomous learning algorithm, for example, the autonomous learning algorithm can be realized by a neural network model, and the autonomous learning algorithm can be continuously optimized in the subsequent process, so that the identification accuracy is improved. For example, taking the image information with the identified building cracks as a new sample to participate in the updating of the autonomous learning algorithm; and updating the constructed building crack characteristic database.
If the working tasks are executed based on the robot cluster system, the control method further comprises a rescue control method, a building structure crossing method, a queue adjusting method and a well hole detection method.
Referring to fig. 41, in the following two embodiments, two rescue control methods are respectively proposed for a robot-based cluster system. The robots include a survey robot at the far end of the cable and a negative cable robot connected thereto through the cable, and both the survey robot and the negative cable robot can employ the respective robots provided in the above embodiments.
In one embodiment, the invention also provides a rescue control method based on the robot cluster system, wherein the robot cluster system comprises a plurality of robots operating on a working surface and cables, and all the robots are powered and communicated through the cables and are sequentially connected with the cables according to the extending direction of the cables.
According to the extending direction of the cable, one of the two adjacent robots is a passive robot to be rescued, the other robot is an active robot for performing rescue, and the rescue control method comprises the following steps:
step S911, the active robot is anchored on the working surface in a vacuum adsorption mode;
step S912, changing the cable length between the active robot and the passive robot to make the two robots approach each other;
step S913, the active robot is controlled to drag the passive robot.
42-45, in one embodiment, the present invention also provides a rescue control method based on a robot cluster system, implemented with the robot cluster system herein. According to the extending direction of the cable, both sides of the passive robot 203 are provided with active robots, namely a first active robot 201 and a second active robot 202, and the rescue control method comprises the following steps:
Step S921, the first active robot is anchored on the working surface in a vacuum adsorption mode;
step S922, changing the cable length between the second active robot and the passive robot to make the second active robot and the passive robot approach each other;
step S923, the second active robot is anchored on the working surface in a vacuum adsorption mode;
step S924, the first active robot releases the anchoring with the working surface;
step S925, changing the cable length between the first active robot and the passive robot to enable the first active robot and the passive robot to be close to each other, and further enabling the passive robot to be adjacent to the first active robot and the second active robot at the same time;
step S926, the first active robot and the second active robot are controlled to drag the passive robot.
In step S922 and step S925, it is understood that the first active robot and the second active robot move closer to each other toward the passive robot. It can be understood that each robot communicates with the server through the cable under the normal state to realize interactive control. And comprehensively judging the working condition of the robots through the information acquisition equipment of each robot and the transmission of communication signals. And when the judgment result is abnormal, the robot is considered to possibly fail, namely the robot is used as a passive robot to be rescued. For example, the image returned by the information acquisition device is interrupted, the sucker operates to report errors, and the like. The two adjacent robots are adjacent in a cable connection mode, and are not adjacent in a space distance. After the robot fails, software and hardware self-inspection can be carried out on the robot, and the implementation of a rescue control method is canceled if the self-inspection is qualified.
In step S912, step S922, step S925, changing the length of the cables of the passive robot and the robots adjacent thereto may be achieved by a cable rack mechanism, see for a specific implementation related embodiments herein with respect to a cable rack mechanism.
In steps S911 to S913, the passive robot and the active robot are not limited in type as long as the cable connection between the robots can be achieved. In step S921 to step S926, the passive robot is connected to two adjacent robots by a cable, and the passive robot is a back-cable robot, but the types of the first active robot and the second active robot are not limited. In step S913 and step S926, the towing passive robot is moved away from the current site, and reaches a specified area (for example, returns to the origin) where there is no risk of dropping, and it is determined that rescue is achieved.
Referring to fig. 46, in an embodiment of the present invention, there is further provided a building structure crossing method based on a robot cluster system, where the robot cluster system includes at least three robots operating on a working surface and cables, and all the robots are powered and communicated by the cables and are sequentially connected to the cables according to an extending direction of the cables; according to the extending direction of the cables, the three continuous robots are a head end robot, a middle robot and a tail end robot in sequence.
The method for crossing the building structure further comprises the following steps: and splicing the image information acquired from a plurality of working positions in the historical working process to obtain a working surface map and obtain the position coordinates of the building structure relative to the working surface. For details of obtaining a work surface map and location coordinates, see related embodiments herein. The building structure crossing method in the embodiment comprises the following steps:
step S1, a head end robot 204 spans to the opposite side of a building structure;
step S2, the head end robot 204 and the tail end robot 206 are anchored on the working surface in a vacuum adsorption mode respectively, and cables extending between the head end robot 204 and the tail end robot 206 are tightened;
step S3, the cable lengths of the three robots are synchronously changed, so that the middle robot 205 gradually approaches the head end robot and correspondingly gradually moves away from the tail end robot until the three robots move to the opposite side of the building structure in a suspended manner.
After the working face map and the position coordinates of the building cracks relative to the working face are obtained, the head end robot can adopt other modes such as flying, avoiding and walking to firstly span to the opposite side of the building structure. "move in a suspended manner" means to achieve positional adjustment relative to the head end robot and the end robot by means of cable pay-off control, without relying on vector power travel provided by the robot itself.
It has been described herein that in natural environments, wireless robots are not adequate for the work requirements. In the embodiment, the robot cluster system is adopted to share the cable pressure of each other and coordinate with each other, so that the use safety is improved. In this case, the robots located at the head end have relatively little interference caused by the cables when they span to opposite sides of the building structure, i.e., a portion of the weight of the cables is shared, without affecting the flight of the head end robots. If the robot cluster system is adopted to fly simultaneously, the robot cluster system can translate synchronously and fly over the building structure, so that the interference is excessive, the control algorithm is complex, and the damage caused by environmental risks cannot be eliminated. Multiple robots are damaged at the same time, and rescue is difficult. If the middle robot adopts a flying mode crossing structure, simultaneous interference of the front and rear cables can occur, so that flying difficulty is caused. If the intermediate robot avoids the crossing structure, the intermediate robot cannot cross a large (exceeding the cable length) building structure. In summary, the building structure spanning method provided in the embodiment can stably implement the problem of building structure spanning.
Further, the method for building the split structure further comprises the step S4: and (3) circulating the steps S1 to S3 until all robots to be spanned on the building structure in the robot cluster system move to the opposite sides of the building structure, wherein the middle robot of the cycle of the round is used as the head end robot of the cycle of the next round.
In this embodiment, three robots in succession may be selected as desired for the survey robot or the negative cable robot, for example, the middle robot should be selected as the negative cable robot.
In step S3, the cable lengths of the three robots are synchronously changed, specifically including: the winding wheel of the middle robot towards the head end robot is driven, and the cable lengths of the middle robot and the head end robot are shortened; the middle robot is driven to face the winding wheel of the tail end robot, and the cable lengths of the middle robot and the tail end robot are prolonged.
In step S3, when the intermediate robot path is used for building a structure, the method further includes: and controlling the winding motor to stop driving the two winding wheels, controlling the middle robot to stop moving, and acquiring related information data by using the image acquisition assembly and/or the ultrasonic detection assembly. The building structure may, for example, build a trench, or between two building bodies with a span, or a building crack, etc., where the intermediate robot stays in the middle may facilitate the acquisition of scene information. The specific manner in which the spool is positioned, functionally implemented, and driven can be found in relation to the relevant embodiments herein with respect to the cable tray mechanism.
The invention also provides a well hole detection method, wherein the robot cluster system comprises a plurality of robots and cables, wherein the robots are operated on a working surface, all the robots are powered and communicated through the cables and are sequentially connected with the cables according to the extending direction of the cables; according to the extending direction of the cables, the three continuous robots are a head end robot, a middle robot and a tail end robot in sequence. The detection method comprises the following steps:
Step S931, the head end robot and the tail end robot sequentially arrive and are anchored on the well wall in a vacuum adsorption mode;
step S932, the middle robot moves into the well, hangs from the well under the action of the cable, and collects the information data related to the well;
step S933, winding and unwinding cables by using cable rack mechanisms of the head end robot and the tail end robot, and adjusting the depth of the middle robot in the well.
The well bore is used as a signal shielding scene, and the robot must be controlled in a wired mode. The situation in the well is not clear, and a great risk exists for high-value electromechanical articles such as robots. In view of the implementation scenarios of borehole detection and construction crack crossing, the operation of the vector rotor system may be stopped during movement of the intermediate robot.
