-Tunnels environments are characterized by dust, humidity, and absence of natural light. Artificial and natural impacts, change in load criteria, or the simple effect of ageing, make tunnels require inspection and maintenance. These operations are commonly performed by human workers taking time and expertise without guarantee quality control. Robotic tunnel inspection and maintenance (RTIM) introduces high productivity, quality and repetitiveness. This paper describes the current trends in the subject, and introduces new technologies such as scenario modeling, robotic platforms, image and ultrasound sensors, control algorithms and decision making strategies. Additionally, the result of several recent and ongoing projects will be presented.

“…Insulation status mobile monitoring of underground power cables depends on a robot platform which can move along the underground power cables stably. We have developed the robot platform with such function for insulation status mobile monitoring [4]. The framework of the robot platform, as shown in Fig.…”

Monitoring on underground power cables in a close-fitting manner using mobile robot can acquire more actual information about insulation status of cables. Focusing on a water tree detection module in the monitoring system, this paper proposes fringing electric field (FEF) method to detect probably formed water tree in the insulation layer. An arch substrate based interdigital FEF sensor is designed to reduce the disturbance caused by applying traditional interdigital FEF sensor in the water tree detection. The mathematical model of the novel sensor is built by finite element method. Comparison of the electric field distribution that produced by the above two kinds of sensors is carried out by finite element analysis. Effect on novel sensor performance caused by excitation frequency is discussed. Parameters of the proposed sensor are optimized by analyzing the electric field penetrability with varying finger width and electrode separation. Simulation results demonstrate the sensor's design is reasonable and the electric field penetrability of the novel sensor is remarkably improved compared with traditional interdigital FEF sensor.
