Relay protection and emergency automation is an integral part of electric power systems. The algorithms of the relay protection and emergency automation are based on the use of analysis of the parameters of the electrical mode - current and voltage - obtained from current and voltage instrument transformers. As a rule, these transformers operate on the basis of the laws of electromagnetism.

The paper shows that a low-cost MAD robot, whose navigation system is based on open-source ArduRover firmware and a pair of low-cost Ublox F9P GNSS receivers, can inspect the 8 × 4 degree ultraviolet camera bounding the targeting error within 0.5 degrees.
