Application of Robots in Emergency Operation of Traction Substations
In the current practices of large-scale unattended work in traction substations,considering the difficulty of e-mergency operation arriving at the site and the impact of accidents,substations in hub areas and remote areas still adopt the manned mode.In order to solve this problem,the intelligent emergency operation device was introduced into the trac-tion substation,and the latest robot technology and artificial intelligence technology were integrated to develop the traction substation emergency operation robot,which was equipped with a 6-DOF mechanical arm and an operating claw at its end.Moreover,binocular depth camera was used to provide depth and image information for image recognition to keep opera-tional error at millimeter level.The operation functions for the complete set of equipment,the panel buttons of the inte-grated automation system,and the change-over switch were also realized.The output of this study may facilitate improve-ment in smartization and emergency response of substations,and popularization of unattended substations.
