Shotcrete manipulator has been widely used in the construction of high-speed railways, coal mines and other tunnels. At present, workers are still using the remote controller to control the manipulator for spraying operations. There are problems such as high operation risk, large personal injuries, and low construction quality. In order to improve the automation of tunnel construction, this paper proposes a spraying motion planning method based on an 8R manipulator arm. On the basis of kinematics modeling and analysis of the shotcrete manipulator, method design and motion planning of shotcrete are carried out according to tunnel conditions, and verification experiments are carried out in actual tunnel. The experimental results show that the precision of the automatic spraying method is less than 45 m, which can meet the requirements of actual construction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
