Power Substation Inspection Robot 

Operation Modes

The robot can operate in two modes: Autonomous and Manual modes. In autonomous mode, the robot can move along a pre-programmed path in the substation, stop at specified points, and capture the required data. An operator can monitor the data captured by the robot remotely at the ground control center (GCC). The robot can detect anomalies such as hotspots, abnormal gauge readings, and intrusions autonomously via a trained AI model and sensors

In the manual mode, the remote operator can conduct a remote inspection of equipment by examining four streams of live data from the PTZ camera, Thermal camera, Stereo Depth Camera, and Microphone.

Customizable Platform

The robot has a sturdy aluminum chassis (industrial grade) and body made of insulated fiberglass with a coating that protects against strong electromagnetic fields; this enables the robot to be operated near high-voltage equipment and electrical lines. As a customizable platform, additional equipment can be installed on the robot such as a corona discharge camera, weather sensors, and the multi-gas detector (SF6, etc.) on request. 

Wireless Charging (optional)

The robot has a wireless charging option with docking station and can home in autonomously when the battery charge depletes below 10%.
