China News Service, Tianjin, March 10 (Zhou Yaqiang and Xu Xindi) Reporters learned from the State Grid Tianjin Electric Power Company on the 10th that the power equipment remote control detection robot independently developed by the R&D team of the State Grid Tianjin Electric Power Research Institute recently carried out functional testing at the R&D base.
This robot can replace humans to remotely detect electrical equipment with hidden dangers, patrol dangerous power scenes, and help improve the intelligence level of power equipment operation and maintenance.

"The overall weight of the power equipment remote control detection robot is only 45 kilograms. It is flexible and maneuverable. It can go up and down stairs and cross ditches and obstacles. It can replace people in dangerous power scenes to obtain equipment and environmental information, ensuring personal safety and providing operation and maintenance personnel with Provide support for scientific decision-making." Yang Lei, head of the R&D team of the State Grid Tianjin Electric Power Research Institute, introduced that this robot will carry out independent research and development in January 2023. It not only adapts to all common terrains in power scenarios, but also has expanded functions such as toxic and harmful gas detection. , it can detect the criticality of hidden dangers from the outside to the inside, and can realize remote operation across floors.

It is understood that after the robot is successfully developed and tested, it will be mainly used for remote detection of hidden power equipment and inspection of hazardous power scenes. It can replace operation and maintenance personnel to enter dark, complex or hazardous areas with toxic and harmful gases to obtain decision-making information, and can perform early stage fire operations. In the future, it can also be deployed in the power grid emergency repair center to perform tasks such as checking and detecting live voltage of hidden dangerous power equipment, becoming the "advanced special forces" for the power grid emergency repair work.
