Purpose To the industrial application of intelligent and connected vehicles (ICVs), the robustness and accuracy of environmental perception are critical in challenging conditions. However, the accuracy of perception is closely related to the performance of sensors configured on the vehicle. To...

Purpose Automatic robots can improve the efficiency of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tank inspection and maintenance, but it is difficult to achieve high-precision spatial positioning and navigation on tank surfaces. The purpose of this paper is to develop a spatial positioning robotic system...

Purpose Periodic inspection of bridge cables is essential, and cable-climbing robots can replace human workers to perform risky tasks and improve inspection efficiency. However, cable inspection robots often fail to surmount large obstacles and cable clamps. The purpose of this paper is to...
