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

AI is the science of automating intelligent

behaviors currently achievable by humans
only.

APPLICATIONS OF AI
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

THERMAL 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.

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:
>> 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
Other needs ofplants
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

.

The Snake-arm can perform a variety of

inspection and maintenance tasks

II. Nuclear industry has used the
equipment for maintenance
and inspections
III. Robot could be used for open
orifice surgery in the future
