Recently, DeepSeek, humanoid robots, and AI large models have undoubtedly been the "brightest stars" in the tech sector, with industries across the board focusing on "AI empowerment." Dingli has actively devoted itself to "AI + aerial work platforms," and through the combination of intelligent aerial work platforms and robots, the world's first ship spraying and rust-removal robots have been fully launched!

Hull/hull-bottom rust-removal and spraying robots

In the past, traditional aerial rust-removal and spray-painting operations faced challenges such as low efficiency, high risk, and difficult quality control. Now, with the rapid development of AI technology, the deep integration of aerial work platforms and robots has brought revolutionary change to this field.

Technological breakthroughs, outstanding performance:

The intelligent aerial work system, deeply empowered by core AI algorithms, has pioneered the construction of a multi-dimensional motion collaborative control architecture. Through embedded adaptive control modules, the system precisely drives the compound motion of the mast lifting mechanism, the multi-section telescopic boom system, and the omnidirectional slewing platform, and forms a full-dimensional intelligent collaborative network with the industrial robot cluster.

The four high-precision laser sensors it carries can capture the topological features of the work surface in real time, and combined with dynamic compensation algorithms, build a millimeter-level digital twin model, achieving real-time dynamic calibration of the equipment's spatial pose through an industrial-grade closed-loop control architecture.

This intelligent collaborative system demonstrates innovative breakthroughs in the fields of anti-corrosion painting and surface treatment. Its adaptive trajectory planning and posture optimization algorithms form a fully intelligent operation closed loop from environmental perception to precise execution.

Intelligent perception, intelligent collaboration:

The combination of a 6-axis high-precision robot and an aerial work vehicle fully leverages the advantages of AI technology. In the automatic spraying process, it has broken through key technologies such as target tracking, start-stop inertia, and time-difference compensation, achieving functions such as self-running control of spraying trajectories, maintaining a constant vertical distance between the spray gun and the work surface at all times, and no delay in line-switching spraying, ensuring that the paint film thickness is standard and uniform during spraying, with an automatic continuous spraying rate of no less than 450 square meters per hour.

In rust removal, AI algorithms can automatically adjust the pressure level and grinding force according to factors such as the degree of corrosion and distance of the rusted surface, achieving precise rust removal and avoiding excessive grinding that damages the substrate. In addition, with the support of the AI visual recognition system, it can identify the rust-removal effect in real time and feed data back to the control system, ensuring rust-removal quality.

In spraying, the application of AI technology is equally impressive. The intelligent spraying system carried by the robot can automatically adjust the spray gun's movement speed, spraying angle, and paint output according to preset spraying paths and parameters, achieving uniform and efficient spraying operations. At the same time, it can automatically adjust the paint's viscosity and drying speed according to factors such as ambient temperature and humidity, ensuring spraying quality.

Data-driven, continuous optimization:

The advantages of AI technology are also reflected in data-driven operation and continuous optimization. During operation, the spraying robot collects various data in real time, including equipment operating status, operating environment parameters, and operation results. After analysis and processing by AI algorithms, these data can be used to optimize work processes over the long term, improve operational efficiency, predict equipment failures, and more, thereby realizing the intelligent, digital, and sustainable development of aerial rust-removal and spray-painting operations.
Big Elephant and Small Elephant represent just the beginning of AI technology empowering aerial work. In the future, Dingli will continue to deepen its work in AI and robotics technologies, develop and launch more intelligent and automated aerial work equipment, and drive the aerial work industry to new heights.
