RFID and other IoT technologies empower intelligent robots

On the evening of October 8, 2023, the 19th Asian Games concluded successfully in Hangzhou. More than 10,000 athletes from 45 countries and regions in Asia fought bravely, surpassed themselves, united and communicated here, and broke world records 15 times. It broke Asian records 37 times and Asian Games records 170 times, jointly creating new brilliance and glory for Asian Sports.

During this period, State Grid Zhejiang Electric Power successfully completed the power supply guarantee work for the Asian Games and actively ensured power supply throughout the region. In the data room of the provincial dispatch center, the brain of this power supply protection battle, intelligent inspection robots are busy.

During the Hangzhou Asian Games, the Chaowei computer room wheeled inspection robot regularly inspected various equipment in the data computer room of the dispatch center to ensure the normal operation and stable performance of the equipment. For the power dispatching business that requires more stable operation, the improved reliability of accurate judgment on complex heterogeneous equipment is tantamount to ensuring the stability of power transmission, ensuring the normal conduct of various events during the Asian Games and the safety of tourists from all over the world. Travel experience.

It is reported that the Chaowei computer room wheeled inspection robot supports the recognition and judgment of indicator lights, instrument panels, LCD screens, switches (switch status), QR codes/barcodes for various equipment in the data center through the built-in industrial camera and automatically Alarm; through autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance capabilities, combined with 7*24 hours of uninterrupted battery life, and using preset unified inspection standards to inspect all equipment to be inspected, it solves the problem of data center manual labor with an identification accuracy rate of more than 96% The pain points of high inspection frequency, low efficiency, and poor quality have improved the standardization of computer room inspections and reduced the work intensity of inspection staff.

Based on a high-performance edge artificial intelligence computing platform, the super-dimensional computer room wheeled inspection robot is equipped with advanced lidar, built-in SLAM algorithm, supports deep learning, and realizes SLAM construction together with IMU modules, RGBD cameras, RFID read-write modules, ultrasonic sensors, etc. Maps, route planning, autonomous navigation, automatic obstacle avoidance and other functions. Its navigation accuracy error is ±3cm, which can effectively improve the robot navigation and positioning accuracy.

With the support of algorithm modules of different complexity, the robot hardware system and edge computing platform work together to support multi-sensor data synchronization and calculation, which is used to meet the requirements of real-time status monitoring and alarming in complex computer room environments, allowing robots to operate in complex computer room environments. Flexible movement, accurate positioning, efficient completion of inspections, inventory and other tasks, while ensuring the safety, stability, efficiency and continuous operation of the robot itself.

Empowered by technology, “intelligence” is everywhere. The introduction of intelligent inspection robots not only provides reliable technical support for the power supply of the Hangzhou Asian Games, but also demonstrates the innovative results of technology empowering power operation and maintenance. The emergence of this innovative application provides new ideas and directions for the power industry.

In the Hangzhou Asian Games, the application of a number of power technology achievements was both a comprehensive display and a practical test, providing a reference path for the power industry technology from research and development to transformation. In the post-Asian Games era, these innovative technologies will become an important support for the construction of new power systems. Driven and inspired by them, more high-end power technologies are expected to find suitable landing space in the Yangtze River Delta and even larger regions.

In the future, we have reason to believe that as intelligent robots continue to promote technological innovation and explore the depth and breadth of business, they will bring greater assistance to the transformation and upgrading of the power industry, and the power industry will also usher in better development prospects.
