Abstract A kind of substation inspection robot carrying unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) was studied to solve the problems of complex indoor environment of substation, high intensity of manual inspection and low efficiency of traditional inspection method. Using robot mobile platform connected to the robot controller of ontology, the robot controller of ontology through wireless router and background monitoring system for information transmission and according to the background monitoring system control command control robot mobile platform preset in the transformer substation inspection lines and parking. Walking on the robot mobile platform is equipped with the UAV. Wireless information transmission between the UAV and the robot body controller, take-off and landing controlled by the robot body controller and the camera component on the UAV takes pictures of the equipment and instruments of the substation so as to complete the substation inspection work safely and reliably.

Abstract The paper gives brief description of the conventional and innovative hydrography survey methods and constraints connected with the realization. Proposed hydrographic survey system based on the use of Unmanned Aerial and Maritime systems provides functionality to conduct hydrographic measurements and environment monitoring. System can be easily adapted to fulfil marine safety and security operations, e.g. intrusion threat monitoring, hazardous pollutions monitoring and prevention operations, icing conditions monitoring.

Unmanned aerial vehicle is a typical field robot which can work in many unstructured environments like mines, forests, and even radiation areas. In our mine monitoring system built in a northeast province of China, special designed unmanned aerial vehicle is applied to take photos and perceive the environment. We select a series of image-based techniques to process aerial pictures to monitor the slope. The visual features are initially refined by histogram equalization. Then, the rocks and cracks can be detected by different digital image processing operators, like Canny, so as to assess displacements. Advanced semantic segmentation model, U-Net, is also selected to process the problem. Experimental results show that both Canny and U-Net can perceive the edges in pictures effectively, better than other operators. In addition, we model the inspection mission for mine slopes into a traveling salesman problem, then plan the path for unmanned aerial vehicle by swarm intelligence-based optimization.

Arboviral Disease

People who live in low-income and hard-to-reach regions are usually the most affected ones by high incidences of arboviral diseases, increasing morbidity and mortality rates, and public health costs. We present the modeling of hardware and software components of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system by mathematical tools, focusing on monitoring foci of arboviral diseases transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquito, e.g., Zika, Chikungunya, and Dengue. We used restriction equations and the colored Petri nets formal modeling language to represent the flight dynamics and the software components of the system, respectively. We evaluated the specification of desired behaviors of the monitoring system using simulations and the model checking technique. The results showed the completeness and correctness of the specification. The design of such a system is challenging due to the potential risks to people and the environment. Therefore, this study provides insights into the development of an UAV system for such an application scenario. The monitoring system has the potential of improving the efficiency in identifying foci of arboviral diseases.
