Toward improvement of the working surroundings as well as the work efficiency, a semi-automatic fireproof material spraying robot has been experimentally constructed. It features a double-nozzle design and a man-machine cooperative system. Small-scale spraying tests were carried out with the prototype. The tests indicated that the following ideas can provide a guide to the development of construction robots: 1) Complex mechanisms and advanced control functions can be eliminated by adopting a man-machine cooperative system; this makes it possible to reduce the cost of the robot. 2) A robot can operate under heavy loads that world be difficult for humans, making it possible to raise work efficiency.
