In this paper we present a novelty detection mechanism in which a mobile robot learns a model for its environment through visual exploration. Once the learning process is finished, the robot can be used to inspect the environment and highlight stimuli that do not fit the acquired model of normality. Experimental results from a visual inspection task involving the detection of arbitrary objects ...

In order to improve the real-time and accuracy of mine fire identification, based on summary existing monitoring methods, a early warning model patrol robot multi-sensor image recognition is proposed. The video obtained by using high-definition camera inspection robot, flame suspected area combining frame difference background after filtering. improved three scale analytic hierarchy process use...

Abstract In order to enable a robot do the omni-directional mobility for inspection in pipeline of Gas Insulation Switchgear, negative pressure adsorption is designed. Firstly, mechanical structure was designed based on adsorption. The internal surface motion model built, and variable control method proposed by analysis. Simulations experiments showed that could steadily adsorb any position pip...
