Research and Application of Coal Mine Rescue and Detecting Robots

Abstract

Coal mine is a dangerous place in which many fatal factors menace miners' life. When some disasters occur, it may be very dangerous for rescuers to go into mine tunnels to search survivors. So developing the coal mine detecting and rescue robot for mine rescue has a very important meaning. In this paper, a system of explosion-proof detecting robot is presented. The structure design methods of robot have been discussed in detail, including robot body, computer control system, explosion-proof and waterproof design of systems, mobile mechanism design and software design. Finally the application results are given.
