Artificial intelligence continues to empower the energy industry, with various intelligent devices entering the power grid operation site. From high-altitude line inspection to underwater cable detection, electric robots undertake high-risk and complex tasks, creating a new intelligent solution for power grid machines to replace humans.

The exhibition area for central enterprises at the conference has opened

The 2026 World Robot Conference will be held in Beijing, with the first exhibition area for state-owned enterprises. State Grid showcased 7 complete robots and 5 sets of core software, demonstrating the practical effectiveness of the integration of AI and power grid business.

The theme of this conference is "Human Machine Symbiosis, Integration of Production and Demand". The exhibition has a large scale and numerous exhibitors, and the State Grid exhibition area has attracted a large number of visitors. A total of 12 achievements from State Grid Intelligent and State Grid Ruijia were showcased, covering multiple fields such as power transmission, transformation, and distribution, adapting to aerial, ground, and underwater operation scenarios, supporting multiple intelligent algorithms, and providing a set of intelligent solutions for power grid transformation.

Multiple equipment highlights outstanding features

The X-ray inspection robot for crimping fittings does not require personnel to climb the tower, achieving full voltage level live detection and greatly improving detection efficiency. The insulator zero detection robot has overcome the problem of electromagnetic shielding and achieved a detection coverage rate of 100%. Two underwater inspection robots respectively support cable free autonomous operation and multi-mode detection operations, and can complete inspection tasks for submarine cables and pumped storage dam bodies.
