After smoothing, the movement path of the bridge deck maintenance robot is drawn on the map, which can ensure that the path planning map clearly and accurately reflects the robot's movement path and obstacle distribution.

[0027] Specifically, the step of setting the threshold between the bridge deck maintenance robot and the obstacle includes: Extracting length data and width data of the bridge deck maintenance robot; Extracting the detection area of ​​the sensor of the bridge deck maintenance robot for detecting obstacles; Obtaining a characteristic coefficient of the bridge deck maintenance robot by using the length data and width data of the bridge deck maintenance robot in combination with a detection area of ​​a sensor of the bridge deck maintenance robot for detecting obstacles; The robot characteristic coefficient of the bridge deck maintenance robot is obtained by the following formula:

By comparing this characteristic coefficient with the preset characteristic coefficient threshold, the safe distance or obstacle avoidance strategy between the bridge deck maintenance robot and the obstacle can be set more accurately, thereby improving the safety and efficiency of the operation. By accurately calculating the robot characteristic coefficient and setting a reasonable obstacle threshold accordingly, the bridge deck maintenance robot can avoid frequent parking or path adjustment due to misjudgment of obstacles during the operation process, thereby reducing unnecessary operation interruptions and improving overall operation efficiency. Different bridge deck maintenance robots may have different sizes and detection capabilities. The technical solution can calculate the characteristic coefficient according to the specific parameters of different robots and set personalized obstacle thresholds accordingly. This personalized setting enables the technical solution to be applicable to many different types of bridge deck maintenance robots, enhancing its versatility and adaptability. This technical solution achieves intelligent management of the distance between the bridge maintenance robot and obstacles by introducing a comparison mechanism between the robot characteristic coefficient and the preset characteristic coefficient threshold. This intelligent management method not only improves the safety of the operation, but also makes the operation of the bridge maintenance robot more convenient and efficient. By accurately setting the obstacle threshold, the damage caused by collision with obstacles during the operation of the bridge maintenance robot can be reduced, thereby reducing the maintenance cost and use cost of the equipment.

[0030] In summary, this technical solution achieves precise management and intelligent control of the operation process of the bridge deck maintenance robot by comprehensively considering the physical size and detection capabilities of the bridge deck maintenance robot and setting a reasonable obstacle threshold accordingly, thereby improving the safety and efficiency of the operation and reducing maintenance costs.

[0031] Specifically, the threshold is set according to the quantitative relationship between the robot characteristic coefficient of the bridge deck maintenance robot and a preset characteristic coefficient threshold, including: Extracting a quantitative relationship between a robot characteristic coefficient of the bridge deck maintenance robot and a preset characteristic coefficient threshold; When the robot characteristic coefficient of the bridge deck maintenance robot exceeds a preset characteristic coefficient threshold, the maximum forward speed and maximum acceleration that the bridge deck maintenance robot can achieve are retrieved; The maximum forward speed and the maximum acceleration that the bridge deck maintenance robot can achieve are combined with the robot characteristic coefficient of the bridge deck maintenance robot to set a threshold value, and obtain a threshold value between the bridge deck maintenance robot and the obstacle; The threshold between the bridge deck maintenance robot and the obstacle is obtained by the following formula:

[0032] Where Y represents the threshold between the bridge maintenance robot and the obstacle; Y 0 represents the preset threshold initial value; Q represents the robot characteristic coefficient of the bridge deck maintenance robot; V max V represents the maximum forward speed that the bridge deck maintenance robot can achieve; b represents the standard deviation of the forward speed of the bridge deck maintenance robot; P represents the cumulative running time ratio of the maximum forward speed of the bridge deck maintenance robot during operation; A max A represents the maximum acceleration that the bridge deck maintenance robot can achieve; d Indicates the current acceleration of the bridge deck maintenance robot; A c Indicates the preset acceleration reference value; When the robot characteristic coefficient of the bridge deck maintenance robot does not exceed a preset characteristic coefficient threshold, the current average forward speed and maximum acceleration of the bridge deck maintenance robot are retrieved; The threshold is set by using the current average forward speed and maximum acceleration of the bridge deck maintenance robot in combination with the robot characteristic coefficient of the bridge deck maintenance robot to obtain the threshold between the bridge deck maintenance robot and the obstacle; The threshold between the bridge deck maintenance robot and the obstacle is obtained by the following formula:

[0033] Where Y represents the threshold between the bridge maintenance robot and the obstacle; Y 0 represents the preset threshold initial value; Q represents the robot characteristic coefficient of the bridge deck maintenance robot; V max V represents the maximum forward speed that the bridge deck maintenance robot can achieve; brepresents the standard deviation of the forward speed of the bridge deck maintenance robot; V d Indicates the current forward speed of the bridge deck maintenance robot; V p represents the average forward speed of the bridge deck maintenance robot; P represents the cumulative running time ratio of the maximum forward speed of the bridge deck maintenance robot during operation; A max A represents the maximum acceleration that the bridge deck maintenance robot can achieve; d Indicates the current acceleration of the bridge deck maintenance robot; A p Represents the average acceleration of the bridge deck maintenance robot during operation.

[0034] The technical effect of the above technical solution is: the technical solution can dynamically adjust the threshold between the bridge deck maintenance robot and the obstacle according to the quantitative relationship between the robot characteristic coefficient of the bridge deck maintenance robot and the preset characteristic coefficient threshold. This dynamic adjustment mechanism enables the bridge deck maintenance robot to maintain the best obstacle avoidance effect in different working environments and working conditions, and improves its adaptability and flexibility. Comprehensively consider multiple factors to ensure safety: when setting the threshold, the technical solution not only considers the robot characteristic coefficient of the bridge deck maintenance robot, but also comprehensively considers the maximum forward speed, maximum acceleration, current forward speed, forward speed average, forward speed standard deviation, cumulative time ratio of the maximum forward speed during operation, current acceleration and average acceleration, etc. that the bridge deck maintenance robot can achieve. This comprehensive consideration method can more comprehensively evaluate the dynamic performance of the bridge deck maintenance robot during operation, thereby ensuring that the safe distance between it and the obstacle is set more reasonably. By dynamically adjusting the threshold, the technical solution can avoid the bridge deck maintenance robot from reducing its operating efficiency due to frequent obstacle avoidance during operation. When the characteristic coefficient of the bridge deck maintenance robot is high, it means that it has a strong detection and obstacle avoidance capability. At this time, the threshold between it and the obstacle can be appropriately increased to reduce unnecessary obstacle avoidance actions; on the contrary, when the characteristic coefficient is low, the threshold needs to be appropriately reduced to ensure safety. This dynamic adjustment mechanism can maximize the operation efficiency while ensuring safety. By introducing a variety of sensors and algorithms, this technical solution realizes real-time monitoring and evaluation of the dynamic performance of the bridge deck maintenance robot, and dynamically adjusts the threshold according to the evaluation results. This intelligent management method not only improves the safety and efficiency of the operation, but also makes the operation of the bridge deck maintenance robot more convenient and intelligent. By setting the threshold reasonably, this technical solution can reduce the damage caused by collision with obstacles during the operation of the bridge deck maintenance robot, thereby reducing the maintenance cost and use cost of the equipment. At the same time, since the technical solution can dynamically adjust the threshold, it can also adapt to the needs of different working environments and working states, further reducing the maintenance cost.

[0035] In summary, this technical solution dynamically adjusts the threshold between the bridge deck maintenance robot and obstacles, comprehensively considers multiple factors to ensure safety, improves work efficiency, enhances the level of intelligence, and reduces maintenance costs, providing strong technical support for the safe and efficient operation of the bridge deck maintenance robot.

[0036] If it is found that the robot frequently encounters obstacles and cannot avoid them during automatic navigation, it can analyze the reasons, such as sensor failure, navigation algorithm defects, etc., and propose improvement measures.

The number of nodes in the output layer depends on the specific requirements of the task. For example, if the output is the path coordinates, the number of nodes should match the dimension of the path. Collect a dataset containing obstacle and path planning information, and divide the dataset into training dataset, validation dataset, and test dataset; The neural network is trained using the training data set to obtain a path planning model.

The bridge deck maintenance robot adjusts the watering frequency and amount in time according to the bridge deck environmental parameters and bridge deck maintenance status data to ensure that the bridge deck is maintained in a timely and appropriate manner, greatly improving the maintenance efficiency and avoiding excessive or insufficient maintenance operations. The bridge deck maintenance robot can make precise adjustments according to the real-time changes in the bridge deck environment, thereby ensuring that each bridge deck can receive proper maintenance treatment, improving the maintenance quality, and reducing maintenance costs by accurately controlling the watering frequency and amount. At the same time, this intelligent maintenance method can also reduce manpower input and further save resources.

[0046] Finally, the application of real-time monitoring and bridge deck maintenance robots has also improved the safety of maintenance work. Traditional bridge deck maintenance work often requires manual operation, which poses certain safety hazards. However, bridge deck maintenance robots can work unattended, greatly reducing the risks of manual operation.
