Key technologies and prospects of ship-borne robots for operation and maintenance
Ship operation and maintenance technology is the key to develop a safe,green,efficient water transportation system.With rapid progress of artificial intelligence technology,ship-borne robots are emerging to accomplish dangerous and heavy-duty operation and maintenance tasks,and becoming a research hotspot.Firstly,this paper introduces the domestic and international research status of ship-borne operation and maintenance robots and summarizes the main types of shipboard operation and maintenance operations;secondly,this paper combs through the application of ship-borne operation and maintenance robots in typical shipboard operation and maintenance operations such as ship inspection,bottom cleaning,rust removal and painting,cabin cleaning and inspection;again,this paper analyzes the current status of the key technologies of ship-borne operation and maintenance robots as well as the challenges;finally,this paper makes an outlook of the research and application of future ship-borne operation and maintenance robots.
