Towards optimal hydro-blasting in reconfigurable climbing system for corroded ship hull cleaning and maintenance

作者:

Highlights:

• A reconfigurable climbing system for corroded ship hull cleaning is presented.

• System navigates on hull surface and performs water jet blasting autonomously.

• The cleanliness of surface as heat map is constructed by self-evaluating scheme.

• Trajectory is generated by evolutionary optimization with proposed cost function.

• The framework saves 15%, 26%, and 5% the energy, water, and time spent.
