About Us
Engineering at Murdoch University is part of the Discipline of Engineering and Energy, offering undergraduate and postgraduate programs., including a new Masters program launched in 2023. The teaching approach emphasises practical, hands on learning, with workshop based activities to build profession skills, a focus highly valued by the industry. Engineering at Murdoch is nationally recognised and has a long history of strong student outcomes.
Solar farms are growing fast in size and number. Some now have more than a million photovoltaic (PV) modules. Solutions are needed to automate the inspection of solar farms, to detect faulty modules and determine their cause. In 2023 the Australian Renewable Energy Agency awarded a project to bring new inspection technologies to market - “Daytime Inspection Solutions for Advanced Operation & Solar Farm Maintenance”. Murdoch University’s role in the project is to develop a package of a robotic ground vehicle equipped with optical and thermal cameras. The ground base robotic platform will navigate autonomously through the solar farm collecting images. The images captured will be used to identify faults and defects within the solar farm through machine learning and image-based identification.
The Role
The project involves several key aspects including:
Robotic Ground Vehicle: Testing, integration and deployment of a Clearpath Husky robotics platform
Image analysis software: Develop software to analyse images captured by the robot
Machine learning for Fault Detection: Leverage machine learning algorithms to identify problematic PV modules, including issues like cracks, dirt, or malfunctioning cells.
Navigation with Machine Vision: Enable the robot to navigate the solar farm autonomously using machine vision techniques. Interpret surroundings, avoid obstacles, and follow optimal paths
Data visualisation: Present findings through effective data visualization techniques
