摘要

The robot has an investigation unit (400) fixed on a frame (200), and including a clevis mounting (410) holding a manipulator arm (420) in an articulated manner. An accessory (430) e.g. pneumatic milling head, is mounted at free end of the arm. A handling unit moves the arm in a median plane to transversally move the accessory.
