 INTRODUCTION TO ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE
General definition:
AI is the branch of computer science that is concerned
with the automation of intelligent behavior.

OR SIMPLY

AI is the science of automating intelligent

behaviors currently achievable by humans
only.
 APPLICATIONS OF A.I
 Power plants

 Hospitals and medicine

 Heavy industry

 Transportation

 Toys and games

 Aviation etc
A.I IN POWER STATIONS
THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF MAJOR POWER PLANTS KNOWN
FOR THE MASSIVE ELECTICITY GENARATION

1. THERMAL POWER PLANTS

2. HYDAL POWER PLANTS

3. NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS

 Mobile monitoring of
power system
The mobile monitoring of power system means the controlling and
maintenance of the plant by various automated means from a safe
distance.

To solve this task,

multidisciplinary efforts are needed from fields such as sensing,
signal processing, control, communications, optimization theory,
and, more recently, robotics.

The developments in robotic maintenance for power systems

indicate significant potential of this technological approach.

The mobile monitoring of the power plant includes various sensors

like Acoustic sensing, Fringing electric field sensing, and infrared
sensing
 Advantages of robots in power system
maintenance
Replacing human workers for dangerous and highly
specialized
operations, such as live maintenance of high-voltage
transmission
lines, has been a long-standing effort in the power
community.

 Specifications of line scout robot
The three-axis robotic arm has been
designed to reach the four conductors of a

typical transmission line . One end of the

arm is equipped with
a point able camera and the other can hold
a variety of tools for tasks such as:
 SPECIFICATIONS

>> High quality visual inspection

>> Infrared inspection
>> Checking the condition of splices by
measuring their electrical resistance
>> Tightening and loosening bolted
assemblies
>> Temporary repair of broken conductor
strands
Applications of Robots in
nuclear power plants
Other needs of robotics in power systems include
operation in hazardous environments, such as
radioactive locations in nuclear plants, access to tight
spaces, such as cable viaducts and cooling pipes, and
precise positioning of measurement equipment.
 Therefore, one may expect that the mobile sensing will
play an increasingly important role in the monitoring of
power systems.

.

The Snake-arm can perform a variety of

inspection and maintenance tasks
 Applications of the snake-arm robot
I. Snake-arm robot aims to "reach the
unreachable“
II. Nuclear industry has used the
equipment for maintenance and
inspections
III. Robot could be used for open orifice
surgery in the future
Navigating through confined spaces.
 A Snake-arm is performing maintenance at a nuclear power plant
in Sweden.
