The stair-climbing wheel is composed of rotary circular segments arranged around a shared carrier with arms to form a complete circular profile of the wheel adapted for moving on flat ground for travelling on stairs, individual segments are rotated by an appropriate angle to touch down tangentially on the stepping surface of the stairs. The article describes the process of development of an essentially new wheel suitable both for moving on flat ground and for travelling on stairs. Therefore, the proposed system not only has sufficient radiation-tolerance but achieve state-of-the-art positioning accuracy in the visible light positioning field. Besides, with the optimized visible light positioning algorithm based on dispersion calibration method, the proposed VLP system can achieve an average positioning accuracy of 0.82cm and ensure that 90% positioning errors are less than 1.417cm. Secondly, in order to enhance the radiation-tolerance and multi-scenario of the proposed system, we proposed a shielding protection method for the camera vertically installed on the robot, which ensures that the image elements of the camera namely the captured VLP information is not affected by radiation. By installing the proposed lamps that replace standard lighting in key locations in the nuclear power plant, the proposed system can strengthen the safety of mobile robot and help for efficient inspection in the large-scale field. Firstly, we designed intelligent LED lamp with visible light communication (VLC) function to dynamically create the indoor GPS tracking system. The proposed system with sufficient radiation-tolerance is critical for operational inspection, maintenance and intervention tasks in nuclear facilities. Considering that some extreme environments require robot to be equipped with a precise and radiation-resistance indoor positioning system for doing difficult work, a novel VLP system with high accuracy is proposed to realize the long-playing inspection and intervention under radiation environment.

Visible light positioning (VLP) is widely believed to be a cost-effective answer to the growing demanded for robot indoor positioning.
