    To address the challenges of frequent bearing failures under complex working conditions, as well as the low real-time performance and strong dependence on manual feature extraction in traditional diagnostic methods, this paper proposes a bearing fault diagnosis method based on a deep learning model combining a Multi-Scale Convolutional Neural Network (MSCNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and develops an intelligent bearing health management system. The system adopts an end-to-end diagnostic workflow, directly taking raw time-domain vibration signals as input. It extracts hierarchical local features across different frequency domains through MSCNN, and captures the temporal evolution of fault characteristics using LSTM, thereby achieving high-accuracy automated fault classification. To enhance the interpretability of diagnostic results and support intelligent maintenance decisions, the system integrates the Chinese large language model iFLYTEK Spark, which generates natural language diagnostic reports and maintenance suggestions through standardized prompts. The system is deployed on a domestically developed Phytium quad-core processor platform, ensuring full autonomy and reliability of both hardware and software components for industrial applications. Experimental results show that the proposed system achieves an average classification accuracy of 98.46% on the CWRU bearing dataset, and 96.73% on the AITHE bearing fault dataset, demonstrating strong robustness and cross-dataset generalization under complex and noisy conditions. With real-time visualization of diagnostic results and maintenance recommendations through a human-machine interface (HMI), this system provides a reliable and intelligent solution for equipment health management and predictive maintenance.

    To ensure the safety and stability of the power transmission systems and achieve comprehensive inspection and maintenance of newly constructed power transmission towers, this paper proposes a centrally symmetric quadrupedal humanoid climbing robot designed for existing foot pegs used by maintenance workers to climb towers. Each limb is configured with 3-1-2 arrangement. At the end of each limb, a large-tolerance, semi-enclosed hook-type gripping tool is designed specifically for the foot pegs. This tool features high tolerance, eliminating the need for precise end-effector positioning and enabling rapid engagement with the foot pegs. Humanoid climbing gait planning method is developed, facilitating the robot's full-range climbing of the power transmission tower by quickly hooking and gripping the foot pegs using the hook-type tool. Targeting a 40-meter-high self-supporting transmission tower, the robot's full-range climbing dynamics model and simulations were completed. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed robot configuration can achieve humanoid full-range climbing of the tower, with a climbing time from the base to the top of less than 30 minutes, matching the efficiency of maintenance personnel. This provides a feasible solution for robotic maintenance applications in power transmission towers.

    To address issues such as low detection accuracy, slow speed, missed and false detections, and large model parameter sizes in complex scenarios from a UAV perspective, this paper proposes an improved RBGE-YOLO algorithm model. Firstly, RFAConv is introduced in the backbone network to replace the original Conv, enhancing the model's ability to extract and fuse image features. Secondly, the neck network is reconstructed using BiFPN-GLSA to improve feature fusion and spatial feature utilization efficiency. Thirdly, a dual-layer small target detection structure is designed to strengthen the feature information of small targets.

    The development trend of high thrust to weight ratio in aviation engines has driven the demand for high-quality machining of turbine blade film cooling holes. On the one hand, ultrafast laser has excellent performance in micro hole machining such as no recast layer and low hole wall roughness due to its approximate “cold machining” properties, and on the other hand, it is widely used in micro and nano machining due to its characteristics of no material selectivity, non-contact, and flexible machining. Therefore, ultrafast laser machining of film cooling holes has become a research hotspot. However, as a typical thin-walled cavity type component, the problem of ablation damage caused by laser penetrating the blade and irradiating the back wall is always difficult to avoid, and the back wall protection technology is also increasingly valued. This article is based on the ultrafast laser processing of film cooling holes. Firstly, it summarizes the ablation mechanism and simulation cases of ultrafast laser micro hole processing, and points out that simulation and experimental comparison constitute the general research route of laser processing; Furthermore, the process routes and specific processing effects of ultrafast laser film cooling hole processing are compared from three aspects: laser parameters, scanning methods, and processing steps; On this basis, the important role of key technologies such as material filling and process control in the processing of high-quality film cooling holes for back wall protection is further summarized. The performance requirements for filling, extraction, and protection of filling materials are clarified, and the feasible ideas and auxiliary positions of process control are determined. Finally, the key goals of ultrafast laser processing research and the systematic and collaborative development trend of back wall protection are pointed out, laying a foundation for the actual processing of film cooling holes.

    In recent years, indigenously developed, aerospace-specific 3D structural design systems in China have undergone robust development, with notable achievements in the R&D of core components. However, with the widespread adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs), establishing an effective interface between 3D structural design and AI-driven methodologies remains a central challenge. Furthermore, existing LLMs lack the capacity for precise reasoning over 3D geometry and complex physical fields, such as aerodynamics, which precludes their direct application in the intelligent design of aircraft structures. Among aerospace structural components, the aircraft wing is critical for generating lift. Its design process is highly complex, heavily reliant on expert experience, and tightly coupled with aerodynamic performance. Consequently, traditional design paradigms are characterized by lengthy iteration cycles and substantial costs. To address this challenge, this paper presents Airfoil-LLM, an intelligent design interface for the 3D modeling of aircraft wings, using the wing as a representative case study. Based on the Transformer architecture, this interface integrates natural language encoding with the decoding of CAD modeling sequences to enable intelligent and automated 3D wing generation. To support model training and validation, we have constructed a large-scale 3D wing design dataset. This comprehensive dataset comprises parameterized 3D CAD models, a wide spectrum of flight conditions from subsonic to supersonic regimes, key aerodynamic performance metrics, and multi-level textual descriptions. Experimental results demonstrate that Airfoil-LLM is capable of deeply comprehending textual descriptions ranging from simple geometric attributes to complex, coupled "geometry-performance" requirements. The system generates 3D models that align closely with the design targets in both geometric shape, achieving a maximum Intersection over Union (IoU) of 0.831, and aerodynamic performance.

    The harmonic reducer, a crucial component of industrial robots, works in complex and variable environments, leading to significant losses when failures occur. Due to the challenges in acquiring actual vibration data of harmonic reducers, the limited number of fault sample, missing data labels, and differences in data distribution under varying working conditions, a fault diagnosis method for harmonic reducer under different working conditions based on digital twin is proposed. Firstly, a digital twin model of the faulty harmonic reducer is constructed using dynamic modeling to generate twin data. Secondly, a virtual-real mapping method based on a cyclic generative adversarial network is proposed to achieve the mapping between twin data and real measured data. To enhance feature extraction and suppress noise interference, an improved semi-soft threshold function is integrated into a deep residual shrinkage network. Meanwhile, the extracted features are subjected to domain adaptation in unsupervised scenarios, using the maximum mean discrepancy to reduce distribution differences between domains, thereby achieving fault diagnosis under different working conditions. Finally, a fault simulation test bench for the harmonic reducer is established, and experimental verification shows that the proposed method achieves an average accuracy of 99.2% in all transfer tasks. It effectively addresses the fault diagnosis challenges of harmonic reducers in unsupervised scenarios under different working conditions.

    To solve the dynamic job shop scheduling problem in scenarios with variable job and machine quantities, a solution approach called Dense-D3QN, combining DenseNet, a densely connected convolutional network, with Dueling Double Deep Q-Learning (D3QN) is proposed. The disjunctive graph model is utilized to construct a single-objective job shop scheduling model aiming to minimize the maximum processing time, representing the scheduling state in the form of multi-dimensional matrices while designing a dense-sparse reward function. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, both public benchmarks and real data are used to construct common and actual scheduling environments. The Dense-D3QN model is trained and tested in the common environment. In the actual environment, the Dense-D3QN model is trained and tested in both static and dynamic settings. The experimental results demonstrate that the Dense-D3QN model is more capable of handling dynamic job shop scheduling problems with variable scales.

    The advancement of Industry 4.0 necessitates the deployment of intelligent, low-cost robotic systems on edge devices. However, the high computational complexity of Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms presents a major obstacle to their implementation on resource-constrained platforms such as the Raspberry Pi. To overcome this challenge, this paper introduces a lightweight RL framework tailored for industrial robot sorting tasks. The core contributions are threefold: First, we propose a joint compression method combining Gradient Sensitivity-guided structured Pruning (GS-Pruning) with hierarchical quantization, which reduces model size by over 90% and achieves real-time inference below 35 ms on a Raspberry Pi while preserving policy accuracy. Second, we design a Dynamic Weight Adaptive Reward function (DWAR) that balances sorting efficiency, motion stability, and energy consumption, successfully suppressing robotic arm jitter and cutting average energy use by 18.1%. Third, we construct an end-to-end deployment system, RPi-EdgeRL, featuring a multi-threaded pipeline and a safety watchdog to guarantee stable and efficient autonomous operation. Experiments conducted on a FR3 collaborative robot validate our framework, achieving a 93.5% success rate in complex sorting tasks and confirming the feasibility and superiority of this low-cost, high-efficiency solution for real-world industrial applications.

    To address the inefficiency of traditional manual visual inventory counting and the high deployment costs of existing automated solutions in Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS), this paper proposes an intra-warehouse visual inventory system based on modular visual devices. A retrofit-free stacker-accessible modular visual inventory device is designed. On the basis of a YOLOv8-powered visual inventory algorithm for multi-surface information fusion from a single view, the accurate counting of complex stack patterns (e.g., non-full stacks and staggered stacks) is effectively solved by combining front pallet layer identification with top pallet layer counting. The system also features a non-intrusive integration architecture between the Warehouse Visual Stock System (WVSS) and the existing Warehouse Control System (WCS) via a database, enabling dynamic task scheduling and data closed-loop. Experimental results on four palletized cargo datasets demonstrate a stack quantity recognition accuracy of 96.3% with a processing time of 0.11 seconds per storage location. This solution provides a new engineering path for automated warehousing, characterized by high precision, low deployment cost, and minimal operational disruption.

    Based on human-machine coupling modeling and biomechanical analysis, a shoulder-elbow rehabilitation assistive device featuring 5 degrees-of-freedom (DoF) rotational joints and 3-DoF sliding adjustments was developed. Motion capture experiments were conducted to obtain personalized scaled musculoskeletal models and reproduce upper limb rehabilitation movements through inverse kinematics. Utilizing Hill-type muscle models and the Computed Muscle Control (CMC) algorithm, the study analyzed muscle forces and energy consumption during rehabilitation training. Results demonstrated significant reductions in muscle forces for primary movers under assistive support: the long head of biceps brachii showed a 51.34% average force reduction, while the lateral head of triceps brachii exhibited 49.05% decrease. Energy consumption decreased by 30.74% and 36.56% in the long and short heads of biceps brachii respectively, with peak reductions exceeding 40%, indicating sustained unloading effects during elbow motion. Secondary muscles including the posterior deltoid and medial head of triceps brachii maintained moderate 10% reductions, balancing unloading requirements with joint stability to prevent over-intervention. The analysis confirms that the rehabilitation assistive device effectively reduces muscular burden and energy expenditure during training, mitigates muscle overload risks, and provides efficient assistance for patient rehabilitation.

    Vehicle dynamics theory is fundamental to automotive design and control. With the rapid development of automotive electrification and intelligence, novel chassis configurations characterized by distribution, modularity, and redundancy have disrupted traditional boundaries of vehicle motion functions. The integration of onboard, roadside, and connected intelligent sensing information has transformed vehicle systems into cyber-physical systems. Existing vehicle dynamics theories, however, struggle to uniformly characterize the dynamics of multi-mode chassis structures and fail to elucidate the mechanical interactions between vehicles and multi-source external environmental information, highlighting critical limitations in model generality and environmental information integration. To address these issues, a generalized vehicle system dynamics framework is proposed. This framework abstracts chassis constraints, inter-vehicle interactions, and information exchange as generalized internal forces within the vehicle system, thereby constructing a coupled dynamics system encompassing mechanical, electronic, and informational multiphysics interactions. Furthermore, it enriches the traditional “modeling-estimation-control” theoretical paradigm, forming a unified theoretical framework to guide the chassis design and coordinated dynamic control of high-performance vehicles.

    In the process of numerical control programming for complex structural components, the difficulty in reusing machining process knowledge arises due to the heterogeneity of knowledge sources and the complexity of interconnections between knowledge. A knowledge recommendation method for structural parts machining process based on a large language model is proposed. By selecting and fine-tuning the large language model, a vertical domain model of machining process knowledge recommendation for structural parts is established. The evaluation results indicate that the model can recommend corresponding machining processes based on specific part features. To solve the problem of the model not being able to obtain the latest professional knowledge and the low accuracy of machining process recommendations, the LangChain application framework combined with a knowledge base is used to enhance the knowledge retrieval of the domain model and construct a process knowledge question answering system. Through corresponding indicator evaluation, the F1 value of the question answering system improves by 0.026 on the basis of the original domain model, and the accuracy of machining process recommendations is above 90%. In the process decision-making application of CNC programming for aviation structural components, this method recommends corresponding process knowledge based on part features. Compared with the automatic CNC programming system that does not use the method in this article, the efficiency of generating CNC codes for frame type structural components improves to a certain extent, which is of great significance for improving the decision-making efficiency of CNC programmers.

    Industrial robots, with their high flexibility and large working range, have gradually become another important processing equipment besides CNC machine tools in national strategic fields such as aerospace and maritime industry in China. The dynamic characteristics of the robot end are dominated by its joints. To improve the dynamic performance of the robot, it is necessary to start with its weak joints, make improvements and innovations on the basis of the existing series form, and explore new high-stiffness driving methods and robot configurations. A 2-RPR robot for milling large propellers is proposed, which includes a six-axis robot main body and a double electric cylinder branch chain. The translation of the electric cylinder drives the rotation of the robot joint, thereby improving the stiffness of the whole robot. In order to meet the processing space requirements of large propellers, the length parameters of each link of the robot are optimized based on the genetic algorithm to realize the optimization of the working space of the whole robot, so that the working space meets the processing range of a single blade and has the maximum utilization rate.

    Segment assembly is an essential process in shield construction. The artificial manipulation is ineffective, high-risk and irregular in its quality. It is of great significance to automate the segment assembly process for improving the construction quality of shield tunnel, increasing the operating efficiency and promoting the intelligent construction of underground engineering. Based on the research work carried out by domestic and foreign scholars in the automatic assembling of segments,the article summarizes the research work from four aspects:including auto-selection, automatic perception, automatic movement of assembly machines, and automatic servo system of assembly machines. The article analyzes the research progress and shortcomings of the key technologies in various aspects of automatic segment assembly. The purpose of segment selection is divided into design stage typesetting and assembly point selection in construction period. Assembly point selection mainly uses the segment axis to fit shield machine attitude. The parameters include gap of shield tail and stroke difference of propulsion cylinder, but their weight coefficient determination is strongly dependent on construction experience. Pose perception of segment method is divided into contact measurement and non-contact measurement. The image-based target detection technology in non-contact measurement is better, but its algorithm accuracy and efficiency still need to be improved. The D-H method is mainly used to describe the pose and motion of the mechanical arm. The trajectory planning focuses on using polynomial curves to smooth the motion path to reduce the abrasion of the machine joints. The segment assembly machine is developing towards the direction of parallel mechanism with redundant degrees of freedom, and its assembly efficiency and accuracy are better. The servo system of the assembly machine controlled by the proportional valve has high accuracy, and multi-axis motion can improve the efficiency of segment assembly. Finally, the deficiencies of research are discussed, and new insights and directions are proposed. The research can provide reference for further improvement of the automatic assembly technology of segments and promotion of the intellectualization of underground engineering equipment.

    With the rapid development of digital manufacturing technology, a large number of machining process instances have accumulated in enterprise databases. Based on the basic principle that “geometric similarity likely leads to process similarity”, effective reuse of process knowledge can be achieved through identifying and extracting similar three-dimensional geometric process information, thereby enhancing the intelligence level of process decision-making systems and significantly shortening product development cycles. Against the background of rapid development in NC machining process reuse technology, systematically grasping its current status and future trends and providing comprehensive literature reviews for process designers has important theoretical and practical significance. The research systematically analyzes and summarizes the latest research progress of NC machining process reuse technology from three dimensions: first, at the macro process reuse level, methods for reusing the overall processing route of products are discussed; second, at the micro process reuse level, focus is placed on the precise extraction and application technology of process knowledge in specific processing links; finally, process reuse technology based on machine learning concentrates on the processing of unstructured CAD model data and the complex mapping relationship between them and process information. These research results not only have important theoretical guiding value for improving process design efficiency, but also show significant application prospects in promoting the improvement and optimization of enterprise process knowledge management systems.

    The quality of screw tightening greatly affects the safety of mechanical products, whereas traditional diagnosis approaches are time-consuming and imprecise, and the implementation of effective fault diagnosis, therefore, bears significant engineering value. In this paper, an innovative method of fault diagnosis for screw-tightening based on LSTM and Expert knowledge is proposed. Firstly, tightening process curve under specific failure mode was studied and several expert knowledge rules were established. Secondly, a data pre-processing algorithm was established based on the characteristics of sequential data such as noise clipping, stage segmentation, fitting and sampling to improve the quality of data. After that, the feature vector obtained through LSTM was used as the input of the expert knowledge model to obtain the expert knowledge vector, and the two vectors were combined as the input of the classifier. Finally, compared with SVM and LSTM, the results show that the method has higher diagnostic accuracy in multiple failure modes.

    Facing the requirements for diverse starting and ending positions as well as velocity in the field of robotic motion control, this paper proposes a novel universal S-curve velocity planning algorithm aiming at adapting to arbitrarily specified starting and ending positions and velocity conditions. The paper first introduces the velocity-to-velocity S-curve velocity planning algorithm, then elaborates on the general 7-segment S-curve velocity planning algorithm. Based on this, a more versatile S-curve velocity planning algorithm is proposed. For different input parameters, this paper classifies the S-curve (s-t curve) into ten types and provides detailed segmented planning strategies for each type. Through simulation tests, it is verified that the algorithm not only excels in efficiency but also demonstrates outstanding performance in the smoothness and positional accuracy of the planned curve. Furthermore, tests conducted on actual robotic platforms further confirm that this algorithm can effectively reduce shocks and vibrations during robotic operations, significantly enhancing the operational performance of robots while demonstrating good practicality and broad application prospects.

    Aiming at the pain point of slow traditional rescue response in water areas, this paper proposes a structural design scheme of an amphibious rescue equipment that integrates the functions of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and rescue boats. The UAV adopts a lightweight fuselage and NACA4412 airfoil aerodynamic design. Through the rotation of wings and elescopic mechanism of the counter-rotating propellers, a rapid cross-medium form switching can be achieved. Meanwhile, the dynamic performance is analyzed by establishing the mathematical model and state-space model of the drone, and a fuzzy PID controller is designed. MATLAB/Simulink is used to carry out dynamic response simulation verification for the mathematical model of the drone and the designed fuzzy PID controller. The results show that when the input is a square wave and a step signal, the fuzzy PID controller designed in this paper has a faster response speed and better stability compared with the traditional PID controller.

Finally, based on this prototype, the tests that the whole machine vibration characteristics test and ground resonance analysis, carrying capacity test in laboratory, field flight landing verification are completed. These researches indicate that, the multilink bionic leg landing gear can achieve a lightweight design that accounts for no more than 25% of the maximum takeoff weight, and can land on unstructured terrain with no more than 200 mm undulations. And through its drive/control design method, the buffering of the landing gear landing process and the stability control of the fuselage are effectively realized. Compared with the traditional landing gear, this kind of landing gear has the advantages of fordable deployment, landing attitude adjustment, and complex terrain adaptation.

    To address the issues of suboptimal performance, and high rates of missed detection and false detection in steel surface defect detection technology in industrial production environments, an improved YOLO11 algorithm called GCI-YOLO11 has been proposed. Firstly, in the feature extraction part, the GC-C3k2 module based on the GCNet attention mechanism was designed to enhance the algorithm’s capability to extract contextual feature information from images. Secondly, the CARAFE upsampling algorithm was introduced in the neck part to enable the algorithm to aggregate contextual information within a large receptive field, reducing the loss of feature information during the upsampling process. Finally, Inner-CIoU was used to replace CIoU for loss function optimization, and auxiliary regression box was introduced to improve detection accuracy and model generalization capability. Experimental results show that, GCI-YOLO11 achieved improvements of 2.9% and 2.3% in mAP50 and mAP50-95 on the NEU-DET dataset, and 1.6% and 0.3% in mAP50 and mAP50-95 on the GC10-DET dataset, showing better detection performance.

    In order to reduce the monitoring and operating pressure of operators during deep peak shaving, an intelligent desulfurization control system is proposed to address the problems of poor measurement accuracy and large inertia and delay in the controlled objects that prevented long-term stable automatic operations. By using BP neural network, a mapping relationship is constructed between signals such as flue gas flow rate, SO2 concentration in the raw flue gas and slurry pH to achieve soft measurement of slurry pH value; Replacing conventional PID with variable structure predictive control and combining it with more accurate and reasonable feedforward signals ensures the control effect of the desulfurization system under rapidly changing load and coal quality conditions. Later, utilizing the unit ICS system, the desulfurization intelligent control system is successfully applied to a 650 MW unit. The operation results show that after the system is put into operation, the SO2 concentration at the outlet is stably controlled within 25 mg/m3, and the deviation between the pH value of the slurry and the set value is kept within 0.2, and there are no significant fluctuations during the variable load and pH meter flushing process. The desulfurization is automatically put into operation for a long time, effectively reducing the operating pressure of the operators.

    It is of great significance to efficiently scheduling various resources to complete tasks for intelligent workshops with multiple production factors. An efficient hybrid evolutionary algorithm is proposed to solve a flexible job shop scheduling problem with multiple production factors. Firstly, a MFFJSP-WA model incorporating four production factors—jobs, machines, AGVs, and workers—is constructed with the objective of minimizing the maximum completion time based on the analysis of the problem background and the operation conditions of multiple factors. Since the model includes four kinds of decision variables, the hybrid initialization strategy combining heuristic and random methods is proposed to generate a high-quality initial population. A global search method based on classical genetic operators is designed according to the four-layer encoding structure of individuals. To address the issue of easily falling into local optimum, a multi-neighborhood local search method guided by a memory mechanism is proposed to enhance the algorithm's local search capability. Finally, the proposed algorithm is tested on sets of instances expanded from benchmarks. The experimental results show that the hybrid initialization strategy and local search operation can effectively improve the algorithm’s performance. Compared with various advanced algorithms in the field, the proposed algorithm is superior in solution quality performance.

    The aircraft skin is the primary component forming the aerodynamic shape of an aircraft, characterized by large size, thin wall (thickness 2~6 mm) and complex structure. Currently, manufacturers generally adopt a manual comparison-marking-trimming method to remove the edge allowance of the skin parts, leading to large cumulative human errors and difficulties in controlling assembly quality. Vision/force-guided industrial robot milling with high-flexibility and large operation range provides a novel approach to solving these problems. However, difficulties in simultaneous calibration of dual-robot systems, smooth path generation for machining and accurate control of the robot’s trajectory have become the bottlenecks restricting the application of robot milling for the aircraft skin. The above challenges can be summarized as the simultaneous decoupling of spatial transformation and the quantitative control of pose errors. To address these issues, this paper conducts in-depth research on dual-robot system calibration, smoothing machining path generation and closed-loop feedback control of the robot’s end-effector. The Part I proposes simultaneous calibration method of dual-robot system for robotic tracking/measuring-machining, establishes kinematics model of robot-tracking system and studies method to generate a smooth machining path for aircraft skin. The Part II studies closed-loop feedback control model for robot’s end-effector under external tracking system, develops closed-loop feedback control system for robot. The simultaneous calibration accuracy test of dual-robot, the trajectory accuracy test of end pose with closed-loop control, and the robotics milling accuracy test of typical skin samples are carried out to validate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

    To address the challenges faced by mobile robots in overcoming obstacles in unstructured environments such as agricultural inspections and disaster rescue, this study proposes a design scheme for a four-wheeled mobile chassis that integrates a rocker-steering suspension with a crank-slider mechanism. First, kinematic and dynamic models of the walking mechanism were established to analyze the influence of key configuration parameters (e.g., support wheel center distance, hinge distance) on terrain adaptability and load platform posture. A multi-objective optimization method was employed to determine the optimal parameter combination (LF =200 mm,k1=0.9). Second, a three-dimensional virtual prototype was developed by integrating a crank-slider mechanism and symmetric frame design. Dynamic simulations conducted on the RecurDyn platform validated the chassis performance in traversing 18 mm speed bumps and 20 mm semi-cylindrical obstacles, showing pitch angle fluctuations within ±3°and peak torque demand ≤15 N·m. Finally, prototype tests demonstrated that the chassis can stably cross 90 mm speed bump-type obstacles under a 75 kg load, with a linear motion speed of 1.8 m/s and a path deviation of less than 20 mm/5 m. The results indicate that this design significantly enhances the terrain adaptability of mobile robots in unstructured environments, providing a reliable mobile platform for agricultural inspection, logistics, disaster rescue, and similar scenarios.
