Robotics is now becoming an increasingly crucial tool in the energy and utility segment for keeping their operations functional and optimised, especially during events, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, when remote monitoring of power infrastructure with minimal operators on-site was made possible with the help of robots and drones.

Other than its applications across various segments, such as transmission and distribution, wind, solar, nuclear and thermal, robotics in the energy sector is expanding its presence in disruptive applications such as faster renewable energy installations, automated cable jointing for underground applications and revolutionising utility excavation systems.

Leading power companies in robotics

Power utilities are increasingly using robotics and drones to handle the inspection of risky, time-consuming, and hard-to-reach assets, as well as maintaining those assets and providing automated cleaning solutions for solar PV panels and wind power blades. These applications of robots and drones are now becoming standard.

Leading adopters include the National Grid, Ontario Power Generation (OPG), Energie NB Power, Talen Energy, Con Edison, Southern Gas Networks (SGN), Hydro-Québec, Iberdrola and KEPCO.
