This section describes how to perform routine maintenance on the robot to ensure that the system remains in good working condition.
7.1 Regular Self‑Inspection
Regular self‑inspection by the user helps ensure the reliability of robot operation, extends the service life of the robot, and reduces the failure rate.
| Component Category | Self‑Inspection Items | Inspection Content | Inspection Cycle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wear Parts | Casters, Robotic Hands | Check for cracks, bubbles, or other surface damage. | Monthly |
| Safety Components | Anti‑Collision Strips, Emergency Stop Button, Reset Button | Verify that component functions are triggered effectively. | Monthly |
| Mechanical Fasteners | Chassis Fasteners, Robotic Hand Fasteners | Check all fastening points and fasteners for looseness. | Quarterly |
| Sensors and Cables | LiDAR, Stereo Cameras, Wrist Cameras | Ensure surfaces and hard‑to‑reach areas are clean; verify that component functions are triggered effectively; check all connectors for looseness or disconnection. | Quarterly |
7.2 Cleaning and Maintenance
Maintenance Cycle: Weekly
Maintenance Content:
Gently wipe dust and stains from the robot's outer shell, stereo cameras, and wrist cameras with a soft cloth, then dry with a clean cloth to ensure cleanliness. It is not recommended to use water for cleaning, as residual moisture may cause chassis malfunctions.
Do not use corrosive solvent‑based cleaners, such as acetone.
The overall protection rating of this product is ≥ IPX2. The internal battery and electrical components are not waterproof. Do not rinse with water to avoid damaging internal electronic components and wiring.
Inspect the outer shell for signs of impact or collision.
Inspect the outer shell for any visible damage.
Do not use compressed air to clean the robot, especially near the LiDAR sensors.
If the robot is to be stored for an extended period without use, recharge the battery periodically at approximately two‑month intervals to maintain battery health.
7.3 Robotic Hand Maintenance
Maintenance Cycle: Monthly
Maintenance Content:
Gently wipe dust and stains from the surface of the robotic hand with a soft cloth and clean water, then dry with a clean cloth to ensure cleanliness.
Do not use corrosive solvent-based cleaners, such as acetone.
Check whether the robotic hand moves smoothly. If not, replace it promptly.
Inspect the fixing bolts of the robotic hand for looseness. If loose, retighten the screws or replace them with new ones.
Robotic Hand Replacement Procedure:
Before replacing the robotic hand, secure the robot in advance to prevent instability that could cause accidental injury to personnel.
Use a 5 mm hex wrench to remove the socket head cap screws connecting the robotic hand to the wrist.
During reinstallation, pay attention to the torque applied to the wrench. The recommended torque is 14 N·m.
Apply thread-locking sealant to the screw surfaces to prevent loosening.
7.4 Caster Maintenance
Maintenance Cycle: Monthly
Maintenance Content:
Periodically tilt the robot chassis sideways by approximately 30° to inspect the condition of the casters and hub motor tires. Check whether the tires rotate smoothly and remove any foreign objects.
Inspect the casters for wear, including cracks or excessive wear. If any such conditions are present, replace them immediately to avoid safety hazards.
Inspect the caster fixing bolts for looseness. If loose, retighten the screws or replace them with new ones.
Caster Replacement Procedure:
Before removing the casters, secure the robot in advance to prevent instability that could cause accidental injury to personnel.
Use a 5 mm hex wrench to remove the socket head cap screws connecting the casters to the chassis from underneath.
During reinstallation, pay attention to the torque applied to the wrench. The recommended torque is 14 N·m.
Apply thread‑locking sealant to the screw surfaces to prevent loosening.
7.5 Interface Maintenance
Maintenance Cycle: Weekly
Maintenance Content:
Inspect the reserved external interfaces on the robot and check for signs of wear.
Check for foreign objects near the interfaces. If any are present, wipe them clean with a lint‑free cloth.
Inspect the interfaces for damage, particularly the internal metal contact pins. If damage is found, contact Cross‑Dimensional Intelligence customer support.
Warning:
The interfaces are normally not electrically live; however, direct contact with the internal metal contact pins using hands is not permitted.
7.6 Anti‑Collision Strip Maintenance
The robot is equipped with an anti‑collision strip on both the front and rear of the chassis. When the strip comes into contact with surrounding objects, the robot's emergency stop function is triggered, causing the robot to stop moving. At the same time, the status light on the robot's chest turns solid red.
The anti‑collision strip is made of rubber and may sustain damage in the event of a severe collision or scraping.
Maintenance Cycle: Monthly
Maintenance Content:
With the robot powered on, press an object against the safety edge.
If the status light on the robot's chest turns solid red, the anti‑collision strip function is working properly. Otherwise, it is ineffective.
7.7 Annual Inspection
It is recommended that a comprehensive inspection of the robot, including joints, battery, charger, sensors, and other components, be performed annually by a Cross‑Dimensional Intelligence engineer.
