Dingli Launches World’s First Ship Descaling and Painting Robots Powered by AI

Humanoid robots and AI models are revolutionizing the tech sector, with industries focusing on “AI empowerment.” Dingli is at the forefront, launching the world’s first ship descaling and painting robots, combining intelligent aerial work platforms with robotic technology to create groundbreaking solutions.

Traditionally, high-altitude descaling and painting operations posed challenges such as low efficiency, high risk, and poor quality control. However, AI-driven innovation has drastically transformed the industry. Dingli’s intelligent aerial work system integrates core AI algorithms to control a multi-dimensional motion architecture, combining column lifting mechanisms, telescopic booms, and omnidirectional platforms with industrial robots. This collaboration creates a seamless, intelligent network for precise and efficient operations.

The system’s four high-precision laser sensors capture the working surface’s topological features in real-time, creating a millimeter-level digital twin model. The dynamic compensation algorithm ensures precise calibration, optimizing the system’s spatial positioning and attitude for flawless execution.

Key features of the AI-powered system include adaptive trajectory planning for painting, precise pressure and grinding force adjustments for descaling, and real-time quality feedback through AI vision recognition. In the painting process, the robots maintain consistent distance and orientation, ensuring uniform paint application and continuous coverage of up to 450 square meters per hour. Similarly, the descaling function adjusts based on corrosion levels to prevent material damage.

AI’s role extends to data-driven optimization, improving operational efficiency, predicting equipment failures, and ensuring long-term sustainability in high-altitude work.

Dingli’s intelligent dockyard robots mark the beginning of a new era in aerial work. The company plans to continue developing AI-powered equipment, driving the industry towards greater automation and innovation.
