Climate change, global warming, and rising fossil fuel pose significant challenges in present days across worldwide. To combat these issues, governments and organizations are promoting renewable energy sources, such as solar power, which converts sunlight into electricity or thermal energy. In the current scenario, static-oriented Photovoltaic (PV)...

The inspection of power transmission and distribution systems is performed visually by foot patrolling and helicopter methods. These methods have various disadvantages such as time-consuming, high operating cost, safety issues, and improper results. To overcome this issue, power utility companies are searching for the alternatives like Unmanned Aer...

Solar energy is a green and renewable energy source which is commonly used in photovoltaic and thermal cells. Solar power systems are among the fastest developing alternatives to fossil fuels, extending to commercial and industrial applications. As the position of the sun and other significant aspects fluctuate constantly, only a percentage of the...

The traditional methods of overhead power transmission line inspections are mostly unsuited as the height of transmission towers is too high and wide. Detection and inspection of insulators in aerial images with cluttered backgrounds is a challenging task for autonomous inspections. This manuscript mainly focuses on the development of autonomous Un...

This paper presents an extensive study of different methods/approaches applied for mobile robot navigation in static as well as in dynamic environments. Mobile robot navigation mainly comprises of four basic steps, i.e. sensing, locomotion/positioning, motion control, and route planning. The shortest/optimal on-time collision-free path is the major...

This paper focuses on advancement of an autonomous robot manipulator for pick and place applications using Artificial Intelligence Technique. The mobile robot carries a four Degree of Freedom (DOF) robotic arm for picking a particular object from a given initial position to the required target position in an unknown static environment, while tackli...
