Abstract: The crossing obstacle distance of three type dual-arms inspection robots, including arms fixed robot, arms mobile robot and robot with flexible cable, was investigated. The mathematical models were established for the crossing obstacle distance of the three type dual-arms inspection robots by theoretical analysis. Under similar values of the quality and dimensions, the max crossing obstacle distance of the three type robots were calculated based on the different gradients of the transmission line. The results show that the arm movements of dual-arms inspection robot with flexible cable are more flexible with a larger crossing obstacle distance, which can be regulated by the obstacle size. Thus, the dual-arms inspection robot with flexible cable has obvious advantages in realizing lightweight structure design.

Key words: inspection robot, regulating the center of mass, dual-arms, crossing obstacle distance, flexible cable
