ABSTRACT

Navigation technology for a substation inspection robot is the key technology of the robot system and completes the independent operation (Xiao et al. 2012, Zuo et al. 2011). Visual sensor has prominent features such as information-rich and non-contact collection vision navigation, which is used for the CCD camera shooting pavement image, using machine vision technology-related recognition path, which realized a new navigation method for automatic navigation (Huang et al. 2010).
