Title: Donglei Ji and Vision-Guided Robotic Programming for Hydraulic Turbine Manufacturing.

Introduction

Donglei Ji is an inventor based in Wuhan, China, whose work includes a patent for applying binocular structured-light vision to robotic processing of hydraulic turbine top covers. His invention addresses the challenge of programming robots for large components whose dimensions and on-site conditions may vary.

Latest Patents

Ji is associated with 1 patent: “In-Situ Robot Programming Method for Hydraulic Turbine Top Cover Based on Binocular Structured Light Vision.” The method calibrates a binocular structured-light camera with a robot to establish a coordinate transformation between them. The camera captures and joins data from the annular area to be processed on the turbine top cover. Point-cloud processing algorithms then generate a processing trajectory and plan, enabling rapid, vision-guided robot programming.

The approach is designed to accommodate changes in top-cover size while balancing real-time performance and robustness. By reducing the effects of uncertainty, it supports a more intelligent and systematic processing workflow.
