Power inspection and maintenance have long been conducted in high‑risk, high‑voltage and hazardous operating environments. Live‑line operations on power equipment carry imminent risks. Traditional manual operations entail significant safety hazards, and electric shock injuries often result in irreversible consequences. Furthermore, power stations are large in number and widely distributed, while experienced operation and maintenance personnel remain in short supply. A great many standardized and repetitive tasks require on‑site human presence. Work processes rely on manual recording, making execution status invisible and outcomes hard to trace.
BWTON’s solutions address pain points of conventional manual inspection, including high safety risks, low efficiency, inspection blind spots and delayed emergency response. Leveraging embodied‑intelligence robots, the solutions enable intelligent execution of equipment inspection and on‑site operations, driving the digital transformation and upgrading of power operation and maintenance.

Autonomous NavigationThe system delivers stable autonomous navigation in complex substation environments. Powered by the self‑developed VLN navigation large model, it achieves dual‑scenario high‑precision navigation: centimeter‑level positioning and obstacle avoidance for complex indoor power scenarios, and autonomous path planning for all‑domain outdoor power environments.Through 3D mapping, multi‑sensor fusion positioning and topological path planning, integrated continuous indoor‑outdoor navigation is realized, sustaining stable long‑term operation in confined spaces and weak‑network conditions. Substation spatial modeling is adopted to represent operating environments, and inspection targets are organized in combination with equipment management and asset information.

Automatic RecognitionDrawing on multimodal visual recognition and industry‑specific model capabilities, the system automatically identifies various meters, indicator lights and switch statuses, extracts equipment operating data and generates structured information. Pre‑installed general‑purpose substation recognition algorithms are integrated with autonomous inspection, video surveillance, status checking and intelligent alarming. It supports mobile video inspection, infrared temperature measurement, environmental data monitoring, real‑time monitoring of key zones, intelligent data analysis and report generation.

Precise ManipulationSensor payloads and robotic arms mounted on quadruped robots integrate equipment inspection, action execution and operation supervision. Combining the mobility of humanoid robots with end‑effectors, upper limbs and professional end‑of‑arm tools are adapted to the working space of existing equipment such as switch cabinets. Via visual perception, task comprehension and force‑control strategies, precise alignment and controlled execution are completed for operations including button pressing, knob turning and five‑prevention procedures. Human access to high‑risk or high‑elevation work points is reduced, enabling unified management of both inspection and manipulation tasks.

Closed‑loop Management and Unified One‑network GovernanceA complete closed‑loop mechanism spanning status acquisition, task decomposition and execution verification is established, supporting exception rollback and result validation. The whole inspection‑manipulation workflow becomes controllable, traceable and manageable. Connected to enterprise digital management platforms, the intelligent inspection platform centrally aggregates inspection data, alarm messages and disposal outcomes to support centralized supervision and management decision‑making.
