Autonomous Inspection Robot

Our project introduces an innovative approach to the inspection and maintenance of electrical substations within the power grid. By leveraging an autonomous mobile robot equipped with an advanced sensor system and a modular extension, we enhance efficiency, safety, and precision beyond current industry standards. This solution minimizes human intervention in hazardous environments, reduces operational costs, and ensures more reliable performance of critical infrastructure.
