Design of Tank Inspection Robot Navigation System Based on Virtual Reality

Facing the demand for safety inspection of large oil storage tanks, there is an urgent need for in-oil corrosion inspection robot technology that does not open the tank. As an excellent human-computer interaction technology, virtual reality technology can be applied to in-oil tank inspection robots to achieve robot control and monitoring in invisible environment. This paper breaks through the virtual environment construction, inspection path planning algorithm design and virtual-real scene matching technologies, and develops the inspection robot human-computer interaction system based on the virtual reality technology. In the virtual 3D environment, the system can achieve inspection robot operational planning, online registration, remote control and other functions in invisible environment.
