1. The rapid development of global artificial intelligence
In recent years, driven by the three major elements of big data, algorithms, and computer capabilities, artificial intelligence has entered a stage of rapid development. The world has reached a consensus on the development of artificial intelligence, and the industrial chain has entered a new stage of maturity and division of labor. Social attention is increasing day by day.
The World Artificial Intelligence Conference, which opened in Shanghai in July 2021, announced the top 10 countries in the world for artificial intelligence, followed by the United States, China, South Korea, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Israel, Japan and France.
In fact, the United States was the first to use advanced technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things. It has a strong artificial intelligence R&D ecosystem and is a world leader in the field of digital economy and artificial intelligence. Since 2012, the computational load of artificial intelligence systems has been growing exponentially. After 2016, the concept of artificial intelligence became a major domestic development project.
On the whole, my country’s artificial intelligence industry started relatively late, but it has developed rapidly under the joint promotion and guidance of policies, capital, and market demand. The gap between China and the United States is gradually narrowing, and my country has made breakthroughs in the application side. The development of artificial intelligence in various industries has also received high attention.
2. Gas explosion-proof inspection robot, leading domestic development
Robots are one of the applications of artificial intelligence and have also been applied in the gas field.
According to the “14th Five-Year Plan” National Emergency Response System Plan, it is proposed to optimize the allocation of element resources, enhance the development momentum driven by innovation, promote industrial structure, promote industrial aggregation, and support the guiding direction of enterprise development, and strengthen intelligent unmanned emergency rescue equipment: The equipment and application of individual assistance robots, dangerous gas inspection robots, mine rescue robots, underground emergency operation robots, and post-disaster search and rescue amphibious robots.
Developed countries such as the United States, Europe, and Japan attach great importance to the development of robots, and have formulated national strategies for robots. Experimental explorations have also been carried out for the application of explosion-proof robots in hazardous environments such as flammable and explosive environments.
The domestic research and application of explosion-proof robots is ahead of foreign countries. Many domestic petroleum, petrochemical, gas and other enterprises and government agencies have also purchased or developed gas explosion-proof inspection robots to complete gas leakage inspection work and emergency response by “replacing people with machines”. On-site monitoring work greatly reduces the production cost of enterprises and personnel safety risks, reduces the subjective and objective interference factors of monitoring results, and improves the quality of inspections.
3. Robots assist gas safety
The gas explosion-proof intelligent inspection robot can not only perform security inspections, but also perform leak inspections and emergency monitoring around gas stations or dangerous places such as flammable and explosive places, reducing safety risks and improving inspection efficiency.
After the robot completes the initial configuration work, according to the inspection line set by the personnel, it replaces the personnel to inspect whether there is gas leakage in key areas such as pipelines, pressure regulating stations, and key gas consumption parts, and collects videos and images of special locations or important instrumentation equipment in real time , the robot can autonomously avoid obstacles when encountering obstacles, continue to perform inspection tasks, and complete the entire inspection task process.
During gas emergency or temporary operations, the remote control robot can monitor and command the construction, record the construction process, audio and video on-site interaction and on-site data collection, so as to ensure the safety of gas transmission and personnel safety during construction. The robot supports ultra-long-distance communication for remote driving and control. At the emergency scene, it uses high-definition/infrared cameras and gas sensors to view the scene, detect environmental risks, and search for trapped people.
