Robots replace humans on power lines

Working robots have been put into service in north China鈥檚 Tianjin, replacing humans in dangerous work on high-voltage power lines.

Zhang Liming, head of the emergency repair team of the Tianjin Binhai Power Supply Company of the State Grid, presided over the development of the robots.

He said they can carry out 鈥渕inimally invasive surgery鈥 on the grid to effectively solve problems that are difficult and dangerous in manual repairs.

The robots have been put into service in 10 power supply units on a pilot basis.

Zhang said the robots have the abilities of visual recognition, motion control and electromagnetic interference, which give them the functions of accurate positioning and independent path planning in line with technical standards.
