In industrial maintenance, intelligent robots may see a "hiring wave"

The in-oil inspection robot "Dolphin" for crude oil storage tanks, led by the park intelligent inspection and monitoring innovation team of the China Special Equipment Inspection and Research Institute, has been released. It can inspect crude oil storage tanks without draining the oil, enabling precise tank-opening maintenance. Crude oil storage tanks require manual inspection and maintenance every 4–6 years, and traditional manual inspection suffers from low efficiency and harsh environments. Xing Guoliang, a professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, believes that intelligent inspection robots are suitable for performing routine, time-consuming tasks in hazardous environments, and that more efficient inspection should be achieved through human-machine collaboration.
