Exclusive interview | Zhong Yuanhong, technical consultant of Qiteng Robotics: Using new technologies to lead a new era of intelligent inspections in high-risk industries

The 23rd China International Petroleum and Petrochemical Technology and Equipment Exhibition was held in Beijing on May 31. At this expo, Qiteng Robot Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Qiteng Robot") unveiled two new products, which have attracted great attention in the industry with new technologies that fill the domestic gaps.

Why is Qiteng Robot able to successfully "encircle fans" with its new products? Recently, Zhong Yuanhong, technical consultant of Qiteng Robotics, associate professor, master's tutor and Ph.D. of the School of Microelectronics and Communication Engineering of Chongqing University, participated in the live broadcast of the event and accepted an exclusive interview with the media.

Improve robot efficiency and accuracy to help high-risk industries effectively reduce safety risks and labor costs

Many companies need to invest a lot of manpower in inspections to prevent production safety risks. The industries involved include petroleum, chemicals, natural gas, chlor-alkali, etc. Relevant companies have been facing problems such as false detections and missed inspections due to manual inspections.

During the live broadcast, Zhong Yuanhong talked about that with the emergence of new generation technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and big data, replacing manual inspections with intelligent robot inspections has gradually become the digital transformation and high-quality development of high-risk industries. a major trend.

"Compared with manual inspections, intelligent inspection robots can work 24 hours a day, which can not only improve work efficiency, reduce labor costs and human errors such as manual incorrect inspections and missed inspections, and improve the accuracy of inspections. At the same time, the robots are equipped with High-precision sensors have more advanced data processing capabilities. He said that more and more companies are beginning to choose to introduce intelligent inspection robots because it is based on this. "Especially in areas that are toxic and harmful, high temperature and high pressure, flammable and explosive, etc. In dangerous environments, the advantages of intelligent robot inspections are even more obvious. ”

▲High performance version of explosion-proof chemical wheeled inspection robot

Under this huge market opportunity, Qiteng Robot has also accelerated the pace of technology upgrades and performance improvements. At this expo, Qiteng Robot brought two new products, a high-performance version of an explosion-proof chemical wheeled inspection robot and an explosion-proof chemical quadruped robot. Both were developed based on industry pain points. With their lightweight design, small space inspection, Features such as millisecond-level recognition have attracted the attention of all parties in the industry as soon as they were unveiled.

Regarding the high-performance version of the explosion-proof chemical wheeled inspection robot developed by Qiteng Robot, Zhong Yuanhong said that this product adopts a lightweight design, has stronger space adaptability, and can operate freely in a small space; using The ultrasonic omnidirectional anti-collision and trench detection anti-fall system can effectively prevent collisions and falls; a new open flame detection and heat dissipation system is added to further reduce safety hazards; the edge computing system is adopted to achieve millisecond-level recognition response, and the recognition accuracy is also improved further improvement.

"For enterprises, the use of inspection robots with strong environmental adaptability and higher recognition accuracy will help further reduce various safety risks and labor costs, and achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement." Zhong Yuanhong said.

Fill the market gap and create a new technology benchmark for the inspection robot industry

It is understood that the production environment of petroleum, chemical, natural gas and other enterprises has the characteristics of complex scenes, changeable terrain, and a large number of types and quantities of equipment to be inspected. This requires inspection robots to have eighteen martial arts skills such as "fierce eyes" and "climbing up hills and ridges" to fully meet the increasingly refined and scene-covering inspection needs of high-risk enterprises.

Zhong Yuanhong revealed that judging from the current market, there are still few inspection robots that can adapt to complex scenarios such as flammable and explosive areas and small areas. Qiteng Robot's explosion-proof chemical quadruped robot provides a new solution for production safety in high-risk industries and can better solve the problem of scene adaptation.

At this expo, the two new products brought by Qiteng Robot adopt the current domestic leading technology, providing new solutions for production safety in high-risk industries. Among them, the explosion-proof chemical quadruped robot has become a new technological benchmark in the industry with its four-legged explosion-proof technology.

"Explosion-proof chemical quadruped robots have several major characteristics: First, they are more stable. The core components are made of titanium alloy, 7 series aluminum alloy, steel and other materials. They have the characteristics of high mobility, high frequency and large step distance; The second is that it is smarter. As a highly intelligent AI product, it can realize autonomous and unmanned inspections; the third is that it is more adaptable and has high adaptability to unknown and unstructured environments, and can be implemented on stairs and steps. , gaps, obstacles, narrow spaces and other complex road operations, replacing manual labor to effectively perform inspection tasks in various complex scenes of chemical plants." Zhong Yuanhong said.

In his view, the appearance of Qiteng’s explosion-proof chemical quadruped robot not only represents Qiteng’s breakthrough in key technologies in the fields of quadruped robot explosion-proof, mechanical movement, and load-bearing, but also reflects the current field of intelligent inspection It is expanding towards more scenarios, and its functions are becoming increasingly powerful.

He revealed that as the demand for intelligent inspection robots in high-risk industries grows, more and more companies have begun to invest in the research and development of intelligent inspection robots, trying to seize market dividends. After the successful launch of two new products, Qiteng Robot will continue to accelerate the pace of research and development, continuously expand application scenarios and improve product performance, use cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements to better serve customers, and help more high-risk enterprises enter the intelligent patrol industry. Inspection era.
