Design of Vehicle-mounted Cooperative Robot System for Mechanized Installation of Corrugated Beam Guardrail Plate
In order to reduce the workload of construction workers for highway waveform beam guardrails,improve unloading and installation efficiency,and protect the surface coating quality of waveform beam guardrails,a cooperative robot system for unloading and installation of waveform beam guardrails is designed.The system adopts a human-machine collaboration method to automatically move the waveform beam guardrail from the truck carriage to the manual guidance area,and achieves precise docking between the waveform beam guardrail plate and the pile body through manual traction.Through this cooperative robot system,the advantages of manual and mechanical complementarity and collaborative operation can be achieved.It changes the original operation mode that mainly relies on manual unloading and installation,and upgrades the operation to a machine output and manual guidance co-operation mode.The developed prototype has been validated for its effectiveness through on-site exper-iments.
