Inspection work is particularly important in high-risk or difficult-to-reach environments such as power systems, chemical plants, and oil pipelines, but it is also full of challenges. Manual inspection is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also has certain safety hazards, especially in bad weather or complex environments, where the safety of inspectors is difficult to guarantee. In addition, the accuracy and consistency of manual inspections are difficult to guarantee and are easily affected by human factors.

For example, some systems are not adaptable to the environment during autonomous inspections and cannot effectively cope with complex and changing on-site conditions; in remote operation mode, the operator's control accuracy and response speed of the robotic arm need to be improved; the system also has certain limitations in data management and information sharing.

Its shortcomings include: (1) Insufficient environmental adaptability: Although the system uses a variety of sensors and advanced visual processing algorithms, its adaptability in certain extreme environments (such as low light, high noise or bad weather) still needs to be improved. In particular, in complex and changeable industrial environments, the environmental perception ability and navigation accuracy of the robot platform may be affected. (2) Low remote control accuracy and response speed: In the remote operation mode, the operator's control accuracy and response speed of the robot arm need to be improved to meet more sophisticated and fast operation requirements. (3) Limitations of data management and information sharing: The system has certain limitations in data management and information sharing. It cannot efficiently synchronize inspection data with the remote control center or other related systems in real time, which affects the coordination and decision-making efficiency of the overall system.

[0061] In Embodiment 2, the present invention provides a robot control method based on adaptive cruise control and remote operation, based on the robot system based on adaptive cruise control and remote operation described in Embodiment 1, comprising:
[0062] The intelligent inspection robot performs inspection tasks according to the intelligent fusion inspection operation strategy. In different intelligent fusion inspection operation strategies, the intelligent inspection robot performs inspection tasks according to the preset inspection tasks of the automatic inspection task module or the control instructions sent by the remote teleoperation control unit, including automatically collecting environmental information and detecting abnormal conditions of the equipment, and taking corresponding measures according to the detection conditions; the six-axis robotic arm mounted on the intelligent inspection robot performs corresponding operation tasks based on its inspection tasks.

[0063] Specifically, the intelligent fusion patrol operation strategy achieves efficient operation and precise control in complex environments by combining intelligent self-patrol and remote operation technologies.
[0064] In the autonomous inspection operation mode, the intelligent inspection robot can automatically complete the inspection tasks according to the preset procedures and rules. In the case of unattended operation, the robot can independently complete various inspection tasks and ensure that all tasks are handled in a timely and accurate manner, greatly improving work efficiency.
[0065] In the semi-automatic-specialized patrol operation mode, when the robot automatically goes to the patrol point for inspection, when an abnormal situation or emergency occurs in a certain area, the system can respond quickly, automatically plan the patrol route, quickly reach the designated location and switch the robot to the remote operation mode to enter the special patrol operation, ensuring the timely discovery and handling of abnormal events, effectively reducing losses and preventing the situation from further escalating;
[0066] In the multi-patrol point automatic + semi-automatic fusion operation mode, the intelligent inspection robot can intelligently plan the best inspection path according to the inspection needs and on-site environment to avoid repeated and unnecessary movements. Through intelligent path planning, it not only improves work efficiency, but also minimizes resource waste. It can complete the tasks of multiple inspection points more efficiently, making the inspection work more accurate and efficient.
[0067] In a specific remote operation mode, the intelligent inspection robot can quickly switch working modes according to specific inspection needs or to respond to emergencies. During routine autonomous inspections, the robot performs tasks according to preset procedures and rules. When encountering special circumstances and emergencies, the robot can quickly switch to remote operation mode, enter special inspection operations, and accept remote control from back-end managers.
[0068] In a further preferred but non-limiting embodiment, the special training operation includes:
[0069] In the special patrol operation of the present invention, the backstage management personnel remotely controls the robot through the teleoperation mode to conduct an all-round and detailed patrol of the equipment, so that the management personnel can obtain the real-time data and information of the scene at the first time, so as to make accurate judgments and decisions; at the same time, the robot can also report the monitored abnormal data in real time, and send alarm information to the backstage in time, so that the operator can respond quickly and take effective measures to deal with abnormal events, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the special patrol operation and enhancing the objectivity and fairness of the patrol process.
[0070] Specifically, in the remote operation mode of the present invention, the backend management personnel can control the robot to conduct inspections in a more meticulous and professional manner, thereby meeting various inspection needs and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the inspection work. At the same time, when dealing with complex and changing environments, the efficiency and accuracy of the inspection work can be significantly improved, the response speed and processing capabilities to abnormal events can be enhanced, and costs and resource waste can be reduced.
[0071] In a further preferred but non-limiting embodiment, in the method, collecting environmental information and detecting abnormal conditions of equipment specifically include:
[0072] Posture adjustment: retrieve the posture recorded during teaching in the task management system according to the current positioning information and automatically control the robot's orientation and the vehicle-mounted gimbal angle;
[0073] Execute actions: Use the six-axis robot arm to open the cabinet door and trigger the button according to the preset actions;
[0074] Record data: record voiceprint, light, and gas sensor data information in sequence and archive them;
[0075] Abnormality detection: Voiceprint and gas sensors detect abnormalities based on thresholds, and visual environment information uses image detection algorithms to detect whether there are abnormalities in the equipment and whether personnel have violated regulations.
[0076] Example 3. In this example, the robot system based on adaptive cruising and remote operation of the present application is applied to a large industrial plant. Multiple intelligent inspection robots are deployed in the plant. Each robot is equipped with advanced sensors and camera equipment, which can monitor the equipment and environment in the plant in real time.
[0077] Intelligent inspection robots conduct regular inspections within the factory through autonomous inspection mode. These robots are equipped with a variety of sensors, including temperature sensors, humidity sensors, gas detectors, etc., which can monitor environmental parameters within the factory in real time. At the same time, high-definition cameras and infrared cameras can visually monitor the operating status of the equipment to ensure the normal operation and safety of the equipment.
[0078] During the autonomous inspection process, the robot uses the built-in navigation system and 3D laser SLAM technology to build a real-time map of the factory area and conduct efficient inspections based on the preset path planning algorithm. When the robot detects an abnormal situation, such as abnormal temperature rise or gas leakage, the system will immediately start the abnormal detection submodule, automatically record the abnormal data, and send the alarm information to the background management center through the wireless communication module.
[0079] Through the remote operation mode, the staff of the back-end management center can receive data and alarm information from the robot in real time. When necessary, the staff can remotely control the robot to conduct detailed inspections of specific areas, and even perform remote intervention operations, such as shutting down dangerous equipment or adjusting operating parameters. This mode not only improves inspection efficiency, but also ensures a quick response in emergency situations, effectively preventing accidents.
[0080] In addition, the system also supports multi-patrol point automatic + semi-automatic fusion operation mode. In this mode, the robot can intelligently plan the inspection path according to different patrol points and task requirements in the factory area to avoid repeated and unnecessary movements. For example, during the inspection process, the robot will give priority to those devices with high abnormal frequency shown in historical data, and dynamically adjust the inspection order according to real-time data to ensure timely monitoring of key equipment.
[0081] In a specific teleoperation mode, the robot can also quickly switch to a specific area for detailed inspection according to the instructions of the background management center. For example, after receiving a report of equipment failure, the robot can immediately go to the fault point, conduct a detailed inspection of the faulty equipment through high-definition cameras and sensors, and transmit the inspection results back to the management center in real time so that the staff can make accurate judgments and decisions.
[0082] The robot system based on adaptive cruise and remote operation in the embodiment not only improves the inspection efficiency and safety of large industrial plants, but also greatly enhances the ability to handle abnormal events through real-time data monitoring and remote intervention functions, ensuring the stable operation of plant equipment and the safety of employees.
[0083] In this embodiment, the robot system based on adaptive cruise and remote operation of the present application is applied to the inspection of a power transmission line. Since power transmission lines often span a wide geographical area, including complex terrains such as mountains, deserts and cities, traditional inspection methods are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also have certain safety risks. By deploying intelligent inspection robots, these problems can be effectively solved.
[0084] The intelligent inspection robot is designed to adapt to various complex environments. It is equipped with a high-precision GPS positioning system, a multi-axis stabilized pan-tilt camera, and a variety of sensors such as infrared thermal imagers, ultrasonic detectors, and laser rangefinders. These devices enable the robot to conduct precise inspections of power transmission lines in severe weather and complex terrain conditions.
[0085] In autonomous inspection mode, the robot automatically drives along the predetermined inspection route and monitors the line status in real time. When the robot detects an abnormality in the line, such as broken insulators, loose wires, or hanging foreign objects, the system automatically records the abnormal data and sends the alarm information to the background management center through the wireless communication module. At the same time, the robot can also dynamically adjust the inspection route based on real-time data, giving priority to inspecting areas that may have hidden dangers.
[0086] In teleoperation mode, the staff of the back-end management center can remotely control the robot to conduct detailed inspections of specific line sections. For example, after receiving a line fault report, the staff can immediately operate the robot to the fault point, use high-definition cameras and sensors to conduct a detailed analysis of the fault, and transmit the inspection results back to the management center in real time. In this way, the staff can quickly make judgments and take corresponding maintenance measures, greatly shortening the fault handling time and improving the stability and reliability of the power system.
[0087] In addition, the system also supports multi-patrol point automatic + semi-automatic fusion operation mode. In this mode, the robot can intelligently plan the best patrol route according to the patrol requirements of the line and the on-site environment to avoid repeated and unnecessary movements. For example, during the patrol process, the robot will give priority to those line sections where historical data shows a high frequency of failures, and dynamically adjust the patrol order according to real-time data to ensure timely monitoring of key line sections.
[0088] The robot system based on adaptive cruise and remote operation in this embodiment not only improves the efficiency and safety of power transmission line inspection, but also greatly enhances the ability to handle abnormal events through real-time data monitoring and remote intervention functions, thereby ensuring the stable operation and power supply safety of the power system.
[0089] Therefore, the robot system based on adaptive cruising and remote operation and the control method thereof of the present invention realize the automation, intelligence and efficiency of the inspection of power system equipment, significantly improve the efficiency and quality of the inspection work, reduce the operating costs, and enhance the safety, adaptability and data management capabilities of the inspection work.
[0090] The robot system based on adaptive cruise control and remote operation integrates advanced sensor technology, image processing technology, artificial intelligence algorithm and wireless communication technology to achieve efficient, accurate and safe inspection of complex environments. Compared with traditional inspection methods, this system has the following significant advantages:
[0091] (1) Improve inspection efficiency: Through the intelligent self-inspection function, the robotic arm system can complete inspection tasks autonomously without human intervention, greatly reducing the time and labor costs required for inspection.
[0092] (2) Improve inspection accuracy: The system is equipped with a variety of sensors and cameras that can collect environmental and equipment status information in real time, and accurately identify abnormal conditions of equipment through advanced image processing and data analysis technology, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of inspections.
