The design and implementation of intelligent inspection robot system using combined flame sensors and infrared sensors

Abstract

The article designed and implemented an intelligent inspection robot system based on the traditional obstacle avoidance algorithm and multi-sensor technology. The hardware of this system mainly consists of an infrared sensor, a flame sensor and three modules called power-supply module, motion controlling module and sensing module. Through the combination of multiple sensors, processor and driving equipment, the system implemented the feature of a robot in a structured context independent obstacle avoidance, eventually reaching the high temperature of ignition search location. The software part of the system used the small-angle indirect search method, not only to achieve obstacle avoidance smoothly, but also to prevent the decrease of accuracy in hazard inspection caused by wide-angle turning. The system combined the infrared sensor and flame sensor with a simple, high sensitivity, and flexibility advantages that can successfully achieve the goal of inspecting hazards intelligently.
