Automatic Assembly System of Shore Connection Cable based on Machine Vision

Abstract

At present, the shore power connection in China is mainly completed by manual towing operation, which requires the mutual cooperation of wharf operators and mooring personnel. The operation has a large amount of labor, low efficiency, and poor working environment. With the development of science and technology and the improvement of industrial automation level, machine vision technology has been widely used in various fields. It is possible to use machine vision technology to replace manual connection of shore power cables. Therefore, in order to further improve the intelligent level of the port shore power system, solve the problem that the reverse power transmission operation depends on the manual dragging of the cable by the crew, improve the intelligent and automation level of the shore power collection system, and ensure the control and visual management of the ship shore power collection, the design of the shore power line and cable automatic assembly system based on machine vision is of great significance.
