A climbing robot with magnetic wheels is designed for the inspection of boiler tubes in fossil power plants, which can inspect the boiler tubes automatically. The climbing robot will move on the boiler tubes. The magnetic wheels of the robot can be move on the tubes and the tubing can be inspected through the magnetic flux leakage sensor installed in the end of the front transverse slide arm. The...
This paper presents research advances in motion planning for humanoid robots, which has been a focus of robotics research in recent years. The twelve-link model of humanoid robot is analyzed. Then the intelligent control techniques on path planning and gait planning have been introduced. The three algorithms of gait planning are fuzzy logic algorithm, neural network algorithm and genetic algorithm...
Fuel cell vehicles have a high potential to reduce both energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. Hydrogen storage is the key technology towards the hydrogen society. However, the low density limits the amount of hydrogen stored on board and also prevents wide penetration of fuel cells. This paper provides an up-to-date review of fuel cell technology and application. A description of fuel cell...
In this paper, a novel image fusion method based on steerable filter bank is proposed. The registered images are first decomposed using steerable pyramid. The EM algorithm is used to fuse the image components in the low frequency band. The selection method involving the informative importance measure is applied to those in the high frequency band. The final fused image is then computed by taking the...
The water wall tubes run on a hazardous environment, and the fire, gas and coil ash often attack the tube and corrosion, erosion and fatigue cause to the tube wall thickness decrease and being failure, even lead to explosion and leakage, by which the safety and cost-effective of the thermal power plant is influenced seriously. The explosion and leakage of boiler tubes in power plant is a serious problem...
