Humanoid robots join the national network! Is the 'rice bowl' of electric workers still stable?

Recently, oneHumanoid robots on duty at State GridThe video sparked a heated discussion on social media.

According to reports, the "Tiangong" developed by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center has been installed in the State Grid Corporation of ChinaThe substation has been put into trial operation, undertaking tasks such as partial discharge detection and power inspection, and has performed exceptionally well.

The ability of 'Tiangong' is amazing. It can refineAccurately operate the buttons and knobs of the substation equipment to successfully complete tasks such as closing and opening.

During partial discharge detection, it can hold an ultrasonic low wave partial discharge detector and quickly and accurately perform multi-point detection on the distribution cabinet,Efficiently complete inspection tasks.

It can independently complete the inspection of the distribution room, partial discharge detection, and busbar switchgear switching operation, with errors controlled at the millimeter level, significantly improving the safety of high-risk environmental operationsAnd efficiency.

As soon as this news came out, the electricity workers became extremely anxious:

This news makes people think: in the era of AI+robots,Is the 'rice bowl' of electric workers still stable?

1、 The application of robots in the power industry

Nowadays, robots have widely taken root in the power industry.

In the intelligent inspection process, drones and ground inspection robots cooperate seamlessly.

Drones, with their high-altitude perspective, are equipped with high-definition cameras andinfrared thermal imagerQuickly locate various issues with transmission lines; Ground inspection robots conduct large-scale scanning and monitoring of equipment within the substation.

In the field of data collection, robots are particularly skilled.

Robot inspection can quickly cover large areas, and sensor networks can collect real-time device data, greatly improving work efficiency and accuracy.

2、 The advantages of AI+robots

AI+robots have significant advantages in electrical work.

In terms of efficiency, robots can work continuously 24 hours a day without being affected by fatigue or emotions, and can quickly complete a large number of repetitive tasks, greatly improving work efficiency.

In terms of accuracy, with advanced sensors and algorithms, millimeter level operations can be achieved to detect minor faults and avoid omissions caused by human negligence.

In terms of security, it can replace humans to go deep into dangerous environments such as high radiation, flammable and explosive places, reducing the risk of casualties.

IIIHuman abilities are still needed

With the increasing maturity of automated inspection and monitoring technology,Standardized tasks such as equipment status monitoring, data analysis, and routine inspectionsIn the future, it may gradually be taken over by AI and robots.

However, the work of the power system goes far beyond these routine tasks.

When encounteringComplex faultsandemergencyAt that time, power workers, with their rich experience and knowledge system, were able to quickly identify the cause of faults and develop flexible solutions.

Moreover, power work involves equipment management, team collaboration, and communication and coordination with other departments, all of which rely on human participation.

In short, inEmergency fault handling and cross system coordinationandNon standardized scenariosHowever, human experience judgment and on-site operation ability still cannot be replaced.

In addition, the power system bears significant safety responsibilities. From a regulatory perspective, robots are difficult to bear legal responsibilities in the short term, and human supervision is necessary throughout the entire work process.

4Human computer collaboration is becoming a trend

In the future, it is highly likely that the power system will form a human-machine collaboration mode.

Robots undertake basic inspection, data collection, and simple maintenance work, utilizing their efficient and accurate characteristics to provide comprehensive and accurate data support for power workers.

Electric power employees focus on data analysis, fault diagnosis, and complex maintenance, leveraging human intelligence and experience advantages.

Through human-machine collaboration, work efficiency and quality can be improved while ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power grid, achieving the effect of 1+1>2.

Summary:The employment of humanoid robots in State Grid is a reflection of technological progress, and the positions of power employees will not be affected by AI+robotsallReplacing it will instead usher in new developments in human-machine collaboration
