The mobile robot system outside the scientific research station is one of the key tasks of the "High-altitude environmental scientific research assistant on-duty robot" project led by Shenyang Automation during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period. It is mainly used in high-altitude glacier/ice cap ground environments. Comprehensive scientific examination. The robot outside the "Climber" scientific research station was developed by the ground mobile operation robot team of Shenyang Institute of Automation after nearly 2 years. The key technical issue for the development of the mobile robot system outside the scientific research station is the high-altitude glacier environment and the adaptability of scientific research tasks, involving many key technologies such as walking mechanism, operating mechanism, power, and autonomous decision-making.

Kuoqionggangri Glacier is located in Geda Township, Damxung County, Tibet, with an altitude of about 5,500 meters. The glacier area is small, but it includes typical plateau glaciers. It is an ideal testing environment for robots outside the scientific research station. The robot outside the "Climber" scientific research station tested the snow climbing ability, non-snow climbing ability, wading ability, power, remote start, positioning and attitude determination, ice detection radar and GNSS on the Kouqionggangri Glacier site. Scientific research load carrying and other content.
The Shenyang Institute of Automation and the Institute of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of the Chinese Academy of Sciences formed a team of 6 people. It took 5 days to overcome the harsh environmental conditions such as high altitude, low temperature, wind and snow, and successfully completed the scientific research of the robot outside the scientific research station on the Kouqionggangri Glacier. test. Experimental results show that the "Climber" scientific research robot system can fully adapt to extreme environments such as high altitudes and glaciers, and has basically possessed the scientific research capabilities in extreme environments on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
