In addition to heavy-duty and high-load types, crawler robots also have many types and application scenarios, mainly including the following categories:
1. Classification by function and application scenario
Military robots: such as bomb disposal robots, anti-terrorism robots, etc., these robots usually have strong explosion-proof, off-road and adaptability, and can perform tasks in complex environments.
Civilian robots: such as firefighting robots, rescue robots, patrol robots, etc. Firefighting robots can enter the fire scene for firefighting and search and rescue; rescue robots can search and rescue and transport materials at the disaster site; patrol robots can be used for urban security patrols.
2. Classification by the number and structure of tracks
Dual-track mobile robot: simple structure, easy to use, with good system reliability and movement flexibility.
Four-track or six-track mobile robot: compared with the dual-track type, it has stronger obstacle crossing performance and stability.
3. Special types
Self-reconfigurable robot: has the ability to autonomously deform and can adapt to non-structural environments, such as space, seabed, military reconnaissance and other occasions.
Compound mobile robot: Combining multiple movement modes, such as wheel-leg-track, etc., it has multiple movement advantages and improves ground adaptability and obstacle crossing stability.
