Abstract: The intelligent patrol robot of Dandong Dongfang Measurement and Control Technology Co., Ltd. is a comprehensive system combining artificial intelligence, motion control, visual recognition, wireless communication, computer software and other technologies. This system solves the current situation that personnel can only conduct regular inspection and stand on duty, avoids the influence of complex environment, narrow space and unsafe factors on personnel patrol inspection, and the inspection results are not affected by personal experience, emotion and subjective consciousness, and are not restricted by detection means, data recording and data analysis, so as to maximize the security and protection ability of equipment. TRIZ innovation theory is applied to upgrade the robot design to better solve a series of problems, such as belt idler falling, idler temperature being too high, belt conveyor running off, motor or bearing temperature being too high, equipment abnormal noise, belt stacking, fire warning, high dust concentration, personnel not wearing safety helmets, etc.
