  • Robot device, and method for inspection of components of a belt conveyor
    Patent number: 11926481
    Abstract: Aspects include a robotic device for inspection of components of a belt conveyor comprising a mobile platform and a robotic arm having a first end coupled to the mobile platform and a second end, the robotic arm configured to guide the second end to contact at least one of the components of the belt conveyor. Further included is a method for inspecting components of a belt conveyor using a robotic device, including: obtaining temperature and/or noise data of at least one of the components of the belt conveyor; and, if the data are outside a range, then: driving a second end a robotic arm of the robotic device for contacting at least one of the components; and obtaining vibration data from at least one of the components.
