For UAVs to become a standard tool in visual inspection, it is of utmost importance that the aerial robot can be operated efficiently by a non-expert UAV pilot and that the navigation system is robust enough to remain operational in rough, industrial conditions. To this end, we present a UAV navigation system setup that uses visual-inertial sensor cues to estimate the UAV pose as well as to create a dense 3D map of the environment in real-time onboard the UAV, completely independent of GPS. The proposed navigation system enables the operator to directly interface the UAV using high-level commands such as waypoints or velocity commands while the navigation system ensures a stable and collision-free flight.","PeriodicalId":346429,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2014 3rd International Conference on Applied Robotics for the Power Industry","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125071358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the recent years, power line robotics has come to play a role for very detailed visual inspections and other tasks. These methods are adequate to detect damage caused by lightning strikes or exterior damages. Nothing is detected that the eyes cannot see. In order to probe under the surface of conductors, inspection methods with a certain degree of penetrating power are required. This paper lists some of the most relevant ACSR's ageing mechanism and proposes applicable sensor technologies to assess them. Then, since mid-term objectives include deploying these sensors via power line mobile robots such as LineScout, integration consideration are discussed. Finally, the paper presents preliminary results obtained with three different types of sensors and shows the current stage of development of NDT technologies aimed at inspecting the core of the ACSR conductors.","PeriodicalId":346429,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2014 3rd International Conference on Applied Robotics for the Power Industry","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131949971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This service is usually executed using a truck with aerial bucket or a manual ladder. Despite the bucket truck being consolidated as a versatile device for several tasks across the electricity network, it still presents disadvantages such as the difficult on using it in urban areas or due to its high initial cost. The use of manual ladder, on the other hand, presents serious ergonomic problems, like, heavy weight carrying and increased risk of accidents to the electrician. Aiming to develop a solution able of aggregating the advantages of the aerial bucket and the ladder, studies were developed at the Escola Politécnica of São Paulo University, in partnership with the CPFL utility company. This resulted in a device named Automatic Elevator, which is a mechatronic computer controlled device, equipped by electrical / hydraulic actuators and sensors, that is able of carrying the electrician to the level of the lamps and provide mobility to access the majority of equipments installed in a pole. In a past work, mechanical aspects of the latest version of the Elevator were presented.

Despite important resources invested in maintenance and replacement of assets, transmission networks continue to age. Substations day-to-day operations are consequently facing constraints due to personnel safety and security. Asset management is also becoming increasingly challenging. At the same time, recent advances in terrestrial mobile robotics, embedded computing, sensing and robotic manipulation allows for faster integration of subsystems into new robotic systems, at lower costs. Using robots in electrical substations has been studied and demonstrated by some utilities worldwide. Given this context and within a really short timeframe, a team of researchers at IREQ developed and field demonstrated a robot system that allows personnel to remotely accomplish multi-sensor inspections and live operations on numerous substation equipments. Robotic teleoperation therefore alleviates dangerous conditions for personnel and paves the way for valuable systematic inspection of equipments. The video shows various aspects of the system operated within substations.","PeriodicalId":346429,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2014 3rd International Conference on Applied Robotics for the Power Industry","volume":"88 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116126005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the driving motivations is to avoid human exposure to hazarduous environments and tasks during inspection, maintenance, operation, decommission and accident response activities. In recent years, several robotic systems have been proposed for each of these stages in the life cycle of NPPs. One critical maintenance activity is the inspection of Steam Generator (SG) tubes. In this work, we present a robotic system for SG tube inspection and maintenance under development for a new 4th generation Small Modular Reactor in Argentina. The proposed system includes the use of a commercially available robotic manipulator, together with tailored programming, custom-designed tools and a rail transportation system inside the contention. The leading notion is to take advantage of the precision, repeatability, security standards and reliability achieved in the field of industrial robotic arms, while custom-designing the necessary elements to obtain a solution applicable to the particular field of maintenance in an NPP.","PeriodicalId":346429,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2014 3rd International Conference on Applied Robotics for the Power Industry","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123924594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The power supply is unusual because it is based on a current transformer principle, may operate at low secondary voltages, and must cope with very large changes in the line current. A proportional and integral (PI) controller is able to control the charging current via modulating the apparent resistance presented on the transformer secondary. Derivative action may be used to counter phase lag from moving average filtering of measured values. The contributions of the paper include a novel bridge configuration, insight into modeling and digital controller design for a current-fed convertor and further engineering insight into the development of a power line inspection robot.","PeriodicalId":346429,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2014 3rd International Conference on Applied Robotics for the Power Industry","volume":"289 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129144842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed system moves the camera to positions set and configured a priori, and provides an automatic diagnosis of target elements on the camera's field of view, based on thermographic images by applying image processing and artificial neural network techniques. The surrounding region of a step-up transformer located in the outer area of a hydroelectric power plant was selected to validate the system.
