Beijing, April 2 (Youth.cn) - On March 31, 2025, in Huai'an, Jiangsu, maintenance personnel from State Grid Huai'an Power Supply Company operated a quadruped inspection robot during a pilot inspection at the 220 kV Qinghe Substation.

The quadruped robot, equipped with visible and infrared dual cameras, conducts equipment inspections and infrared temperature measurements. It demonstrates strong adaptability to complex terrain within substations and can operate under extreme conditions such as strong convection, low temperatures, and equipment fires, effectively replacing manual inspections in hazardous environments. This innovation helps eliminate hidden risks, resolve faults promptly, and improve the reliability and safety of the power grid, ensuring 24/7 secure electricity supply for industrial production and daily life. Photo/CFP
