Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to 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, in which the robotic arm comprises an articulated structure configured to guide the second end to contact at least one of the components of the belt conveyor and where the robotic device comprises a vibration sensor, a camera, a microphone and a laser scanner coupled to the second end of the arm. The present invention also discloses a method for inspecting components of a belt conveyor using a robotic device, comprising the step of: obtaining temperature and/or noise data of at least one of the components of the belt conveyor; and, if the temperature and/or noise data of at least one of the components are outside a predetermined range of values, the method further comprises the steps of: driving a second end a robotic arm of the robotic device for contacting at least one of the components of the belt conveyor, in which the robotic arm comprises an articulated structure; and obtaining vibration data from at least one of the components through the vibration sensor.
