at the 13th china (langfang) international pipeline expo held recently, a robot that looked like a hound attracted everyone's attention.

"our 'xiaotian' is amazing!" li shuodong, beidou technical director of china national petroleum pipeline communication company, introduced that this robot integrates beidou, bluetooth, radar, video and various sensors, and can patrol tirelessly in dangerous environments such as refineries that are flammable, explosive and prone to leakage, and capture and analyze important operating data of production equipment and plant areas in real time. it can analyze and process through the built-in ai large model, and immediately issue an early warning once an abnormality or safety hazard is found, helping employees to remotely grasp various special working conditions such as "leakage" at the production site, and ensure the safe operation of dangerous operating areas such as refineries and oil depots. "it can also move freely in various complex environments such as stairs, steps, gaps, mountains, and gobi, providing route navigation, material transportation, unmanned inspection and other functions for the operation team, and is a good helper for energy production and field operations. at present, intelligent robots have been applied in the field of oil refining and chemical industry." li shuodong added.

at the exhibition, distinctive technology products like "xiaotian" attracted much attention. more than 250 exhibitors displayed the latest equipment and technologies of the entire oil and gas industry chain, including oil and gas storage and transportation, hydrogen energy pipelines, and refining and chemical industries, reflecting the trend of the storage and transportation industry's transformation towards high-end, intelligent, and green.

compared with other modes of transportation such as roads, railways, waterways, and aviation, pipeline transportation has the advantages of low cost, low loss, large oil and gas transportation volume, and high safety performance. it is an important means of oil and gas transportation. data show that by the end of 2022, the total mileage of my country's long-distance oil and gas pipelines will reach 180,000 kilometers. according to the "14th five-year plan for modern energy system", it is estimated that by 2025, the scale of the national oil and gas pipeline network will reach 210,000 kilometers. experts said that with the advancement of energy transformation under the country's "dual carbon" goals, my country's oil and gas storage and transportation facility construction will have huge development space in the future, and will also face more challenges, requiring continuous technological innovation. today, artificial intelligence technology is integrating with various industries and fields to promote the development of my country's oil and gas storage and transportation industry towards digital intelligence.
