[0080] The working principle of the underwater robot monitoring device based on muon imaging and navigation positioning proposed in an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below through a specific embodiment.

[0081] The transmission and control subsystem 101 includes a transmission propulsion module, a control management module, and an underwater protection module to realize the three-dimensional coordinate positioning of the underwater robot platform and the automatic and safe operation of underwater work. The transmission propulsion module uses a brushless motor and at least four freely rotatable and fixed propellers to realize the underwater robot's forward, backward, ascent, descent, and horizontal steering movements. The propeller layout is optimized to reduce turbulence and improve propulsion efficiency to ensure the robot's stable operation in complex underwater environments. The control management module uses micro-motion sensors, microprocessors, and a full set of control systems to realize real-time monitoring and adjustment of robot parameters such as posture, speed, and depth.

The physical protection adopts a detachable high-strength carbon fiber protection frame to reduce its own weight while having good pressure and impact resistance. At the same time, additional protective devices are used in key parts such as sensors and thrusters of the robot to prevent underwater sand, gravel, organisms, etc. from damaging the equipment.

[0082] The underwater scanning monitoring and early warning subsystem 103 includes a water quality detection module, an underwater pipeline terrain scanning module, a geophysical exploration module and an imaging module. The water quality monitoring module uses a water quality collector and a water quality analyzer to collect water samples in real time during the task, and analyzes the water samples for multiple indicators such as pH value, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, etc. The results are processed by the data fusion module to self-evaluate the water quality status, and issue an early warning when an abnormality is found and return the data to the shore-based control center. The underwater pipeline terrain scanning module is equipped with an RGBD panoramic camera and equipped with waterproof and anti-corrosion protection measures to ensure stable operation in harsh underwater environments. The underwater laser radar and multi-beam underwater sonar detectors and the detectors carried by the geophysical exploration module can scan the underwater contour to form a high-resolution three-dimensional real-time model with depth of field information and generate a three-dimensional coordinate model containing coordinate and distance information. The imaging module uses an image recognition algorithm to process the collected information, realize underwater target recognition, classification and feature extraction, and enhance and denoise the image after obtaining a preliminary image to improve the image quality.

The data transmission module includes optical fiber transportation and wireless ad hoc network transportation. The optical fiber transportation uses optical fiber communication technology to achieve efficient long-distance data transportation. When the underwater conditions are harsh, wireless ad hoc network transportation can be used as a supplement to optical fiber transportation to ensure the communication stability in the complex underwater environment.

[0085] The emergency charging and recovery subsystem 105 includes an emergency charging module and an emergency floating recovery device. The emergency charging module monitors the battery usage status in real time, and adopts a multi-battery parallel and backup battery design to ensure the normal operation of the system in the event of battery failure or insufficient power. The emergency floating recovery device uses a lightweight material storage bin and a floating thruster. In an emergency, it quickly releases compressed air and uses a backup thruster to quickly reach the water surface. At the same time, it sends a positioning signal to the shore-based staff, establishes communication, and reports the status and location of the robot in real time.

[0086] The following describes the application process of the underwater robot monitoring device based on muon imaging and navigation positioning proposed in an embodiment of the present invention.

Clarify the monitoring objectives, conduct ecological and environmental assessments of specific underwater areas, monitor the safety of underwater pipelines, conduct seabed geological structure surveys, preliminarily assess water conditions, etc., and define the platform's working scope.

[0088] Step 2: Transport the robot safely to the target waters by ship or shore-based equipment. Ensure that the platform is not damaged during deployment. After arriving at the target waters, perform initialization settings to ensure that all systems of the robot are in good working condition. At the same time, adjust the robot's buoyancy, posture and other parameters according to the specific conditions of the waters to adapt to different underwater environments. After initialization, issue a start mission command to the platform.

[0089] Step 3: The platform conducts autonomous cruising according to the preset action plan with the help of the Muon navigation and positioning module and the BDS auxiliary positioning module.

At the same time, it integrates and compresses the data from different sensors, outputs the analysis results in the form of charts, reports, etc., and transmits the processed data to the shore-based control center in real time through the data transmission module.

[0092] Step 6: The control center uses the muon imaging module to process the collected data to generate high-resolution underwater images, and combines the data collected by other sensors for comprehensive analysis. Professionals evaluate the data chart information to determine the validity of the data. The shore-based control center returns the evaluation results to the underwater robot platform to correct the platform's mission content. The platform repeats process steps 2-5 for the errata content until all detection data in the mission area are valid.

[0093] Step seven: The personnel at the shore-based control center confirm that all the detection data in the mission area are reasonable and valid, and issue a command to the platform to end the mission and return. The robot platform automatically identifies and returns to the drop point, waiting for the staff to collect it.
