FAULTS DETECTION VIA MOBILE SAFETY INSPECTION SYSTEM

Abstract

Fire accidents due to damaged wiring cables have claimed many buildings and lives. Refrigerant leakage might cause fire and it is poisonous if inhaled in large amount. Regular inspection and maintenance works are compulsory to have early detection to prevent such tragedies. However, the inspection works are tedious and incurring ineffective costs. In this paper, we present a robot CABtec with artificial intelligence capability to conduct close range inspection and detection missions in wiring systems of buildings. This robot will continuously navigate the entire area for damaged cables and gas leakages. If any fault is detected, CABtec is able to conduct thorough inspection suing multi-sensing feature. Users can then utilise the front robot arm to have a closer inspection on the suspected faults. Should any damages to be found, technicians will have to carry out maintenance job using the GPS location sent by the robot as a guide.
