Abstract

Abstract: Based on the complex inspection environment of agriculture and forestry,a new wood inspection robot is created with design of its mechanical structure scheme and control scheme.The robot can achieve vertical climbing by lifting telescopic motion mechanism as well as the effect of the trunk clamp by the clamping mechanism.In the meanwhile,a kinematics analysis on climbing mechanism and rotation detection mechanism is conducted.Finally,through a series of experiments,the results show that the robot can climb up and down during detection of wood.It also can achieve continuously climbing and rotation detection function.Moreover,it will provide a clear image of the detection of wood without the shadow region.

Key words: wood inspection, robot, mechanical structure, kinematics
