The State Grid, China's biggest electricity distributor, announced the fourth generation of artificial intelligence distribution live operation robot was put into use in Tianjin Binhai New Area.
The State Grid has successfully completed three types of artificial intelligence distribution live operation, namely, two-arm autonomous, one-arm human-machine collaboration and one-arm auxiliary autonomous robots.
This robot has gone through four generations of product development, using technologies including 3D environmental reconstruction, visual recognition and motion control, the company said.
It is the first to propose a deep learning-based path planning algorithm for a two-armed robot with electrically connected flow line operation to achieve autonomous robot recognition. Lead location, grabbing leads, completing stripping, threading and fire work.
This can effectively eliminate the personal safety risks associated with traditional manual live wire work, significantly reduce labor intensity and improve work quality.
The robot's modular design reduces its size by two-thirds and weight by one-third compared to its predecessor.
At present, the robot has successfully completed more than 80 operations in urban, suburban and mountainous areas of Tianjin, and is being extended to more than 20 other areas. Field applications are carried out in provinces and cities.
The robot industrialization base in Tianjin has an annual production capacity of 200 units.
