Abstract

In this paper, we present the hull blasting machine with vision-based weld bead recognition device for cleaning shipment exterior wall. The purpose of this study is to introduce the mechanism design of the high efficiency hull blasting machine using the vision system to recognize the weld bead. Therefore, we have developed a robot mechanism and drive controller system of the hull blasting robot. And hull blasting characteristics such as the climbing mechanism, vision system, remote controller and CAN have been discussed and compared with the experimental data. The hull blasting robots are able to remove rust or paint at anchor, so the re-docking is unnecessary. Therefore, this can save time and cost of undergoing re-docking process and build more vessels instead. The robot uses sensors to navigate safely around the hull and has a filter system to collect the fouling removed. We have completed a pilot test of the robot and demonstrated the drive control and CAN communication performance.

본 논문은 선박의 외벽 청소를 위하여 영상기반의 용접부 인식기능을 탑재한 선체 블라시팅 로봇을 제시하였다. 본 로봇제작의 목표로서 선체 청소로봇의 설계 및 제작과정과 영상을 이용한 용접 비드 인식에 따른 성능 결과를 제시하였다. 그리고, 로봇제작에 따른 메카니즘과 로봇시스템의 제어기 제작 과정과 수직상승 메카니즘, 영상 시스템, 원격제어 기능을 갖는 선체 청소 특성에 대해서 기술하였다. 이러한 선체 청소로봇은 선박이 정박하는 동안에 청소를 수행하게 되므로 재도킹을 할 필요가 없는 장점이 있다. 따라서, 개발된 청소작업은 시간과 비용을 절감할 수 있고, 선체의 수직벽면의 주행이 가능하므로 부유물질 등을 수집할 수 있는 필러장치를 장착하고 있다. 개발된 로봇시스템의 동작 및 통신 성능테스트 결과를 통하여 성능평가 결과를 제시하였다.
