In traffic regulation work, automating on-site tasks is necessary due to the hazards posed by moving vehicles and other dangers. This paper studies a robotic system designed to automatically restore knocked-over rubber cones in an upright pose during traffic regulation work. Based on research on rubber cone manipulation methods by autonomous robots, the rubber cone manipulation mechanism and recognition function were implemented in an existing mobile robot. A task experiment was conducted to test the system's effectiveness, which revealed both its strengths and the difficulties in accomplishing this task under certain conditions. A task experiment was conducted to check the system's effectiveness, which revealed both its strengths and the difficulties in accomplishing this task under certain conditions.
