An autonomous oil sampling robot system is designed for ultra-high voltage (UHV) substations to address the problem. The system mainly includes mobile platform, underlying control module, autonomous navigation module, robot arm grasping module and target identification module. After completing the development of the above modules, the autonomous oil sampling robot system can complete autonomous movement and sampling in the UHV substation.

This strategy enables real-time correction and compensation, which means it could re-track the target although it is occluded or temporarily lost. The target’s bounding box obtained by object tracking method is used to produce the control command and achieve the image-based visual servo. Comparative experiments with other methods are conducted on several public datasets to prove its effectiveness. In addition, we design a mobile robot tracking system to test the algorithmic performance in real-world scenarios.

Second, we add Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) before each backbone classifier, to compress and re-weight the input features from two independent channel and space dimensions. By focusing on smoke and fire’s feature information, the ability of desired feature extraction is strengthened. Third, the Focal loss function is utilized to enhance the weights of complex samples. Consequently, the imbalance problem about positive and negative samples in single-stage detection, and the high proportion of easy-to-separate samples in the loss function are both resolved.

In this method, real data (also called physical data) are collected from the physical manipulator and utilized to train the Lagrangian dynamics network model to improve the migration ability from simulation to reality. The torque output of the dynamic model is corrected by the real-time calculation of friction in the network. The contact force on the end effector of the manipulator is compensated based on the principle of virtual displacement work.
