Background:
In recent years, with the implementation of the “machine generation” policy in the construction of smart grids and high-risk industries, the inspection robots have also ushered in the spring of development. The expansion of the market has also driven the development of enterprises, and the industry leader.
At present, the power industry is the main field of inspection robot application. Since 2013, the State Grid has been bidding for the substation inspection robot for the first time, and the inspection robot market has entered a comprehensive promotion stage. From 2013 to 2015, the number of collections of intelligent inspection robots for substations by the State Grid was 100, 280, and 430, respectively. By 2016, about 1,000 units have been put into operation, and the market scale has grown rapidly. According to this speed, the relevant institutions estimate that the total demand for domestic inspection robots in the period of 2018-2020 is about 47.7 billion yuan, with an average annual demand of about 15.9 billion, corresponding to 9,000 substation inspection robots, 7.2 billion market space, and inspection of substations. There are 81,000 robots with a market space of 40.5 billion yuan. The power inspection market is vast, so the industry's head companies are also looking at it.
The demand of the industry has driven the development of the enterprise. From the above-mentioned head enterprises, we can also glimpse some of the characteristics of the current inspection robot industry: the current application is mainly concentrated in the power industry. Most of the business of these head enterprises is concentrated on the power patrol. In the field of inspection, although other special industries also have demand, they are relatively rare. In addition, the current overall market size is still relatively small, and the inspection robot is not the only business of the enterprise. Of course, we believe that with the further release of demand in the future, both the industry as a whole and these head enterprises will have a longer-term development.
Application requirements:
A self-positioning navigation module of a company in Shanghai has been successfully applied to the field of safety patrol robots. The laser and visual depth fusion SLAM technology provides stable and reliable autonomous positioning for safety patrol robots, and comprehensive intelligent obstacle avoidance navigation, which can replace patrol robots for people working in different occasions. Security patrol robots monitor security 24 hours a day and are free to enter and exit high-risk locations, rather than taking risks and ensuring people's lives. So it needs a vision-control computer.
Main functions and uses
-
SLAM autonomous positioning navigation: multi-million square meters of mapping functions, multi-sensor fusion algorithm, 3D laser radar plus differential GPS automatic driving.
-
Face recognition: Calibrate the position and size of the face, detect and identify strange illegal people, and report the safety of personal property in the warning area.
-
Image processing: ray compensation, gradation transformation, histogram equalization, normalized geometric correction, filtering and sharpening.
-
Feature extraction: visual features, pixel statistical features, face image transform coefficient features, face image algebra features, etc.
-
Match and identify: Matches the feature template, and the output matches when the acquaintance exceeds the threshold.
-
Monitoring management background: human-computer interaction, data analysis, alarm processing, real-time monitoring.
-
Wireless AP: Supports fast switching of AP hotspots with a maximum coverage radius of 150 meters.
