At present, autonomous driving technology is hot, but a large amount of light is concentrated in the automotive field. Guangdong Power Grid Co., Ltd. has emerged as a new force, and it is the first in the industry to build a multi-rotor drone autopilot system, bringing major laser pointer changes to the intelligent operation and maintenance of the power grid. “It is expected that by 2025, all drones in Guangdong Power Grid will be changed from manual remote control to automatic driving.” The reporter learned from the China Southern Power Grid Corporation’s machine patrol operation site experience exchange meeting on March 5 that at present, Guangdong Power Grid Corporation’s drones The software and hardware supporting the automatic driving technology have been fully developed, and the entire system has realized automatic charging, automatic route planning, automatic inspection, and automatic analysis of defects.
Manual to automatic: Intelligent technology has achieved breakthrough results. “This is a large-scale drone helicopter developed by Guangdong Power Grid. It has flown 1,000 kilometers in 2017, and plans to fly 2,000 kilometers this year. It has also recently conducted night flight tests.” “Using a bag-sized device, you can obtain accurate space information. “… On the afternoon of March 5th, at the China Southern Power Grid Corporation’s machine patrol operation site experience exchange meeting, the Guangdong Power Grid Machine Patrol Operation Center’s multi-rotor drone, fixed-wing drone, large unmanned helicopter, and drone automatic Various types of machine patrol equipment such as charging cabinets, new technologies such as lidar, fixed-wing autopilot technology were unveiled.
At the top of the transmission tower with a height of several tens of meters, a thick bolt cap on the little thumb loosened. This is a photo of laser pointers taken by a Guangdong Power Grid drone using an HD zoom camera. Zhou Huamin, deputy chief engineer of the Machine Patrol Operation Center of Guangdong Power Grid Company, said: “Don’t underestimate this photo. Behind it, it involves advanced technologies such as high-precision positioning and AI recognition.”
