Through the implementation of regular inspection mechanism, it is possible to capture subtle changes in power facilities and equipment, such as damage, aging and loosening, so as to preempt potential power supply hazards and safety accidents, and ensure the stability and safety of power supply. Further, inspections can also reveal potential leakage and short-circuit problems, and quickly take repair measures to strengthen the overall reliability of the power supply system.
China's vast territory, climate change, in the face of extreme cold, blizzards and other extreme weather conditions, power inspection robots with high efficiency, safety features, become the ideal choice to replace manual execution of heavy and dangerous inspection tasks. The Unitree B2 from Unitree Robotics has become a “star product” in the field of electric power inspection due to its excellent cold-resistant performance and full-scene adaptability.
Since Unitree Robotics launched its industrial-grade quadruped robot Unitree B1 in June 2022, successfully venturing into the industrial field and demonstrating its presence in a number of industry-grade scenarios such as electric power inspection and fire rescue, the company completely upgraded B1 in November 2023 with the launch of Unitree B2. This upgraded version of the quadruped robot was designed to take into account the needs of extreme operating environments and perform even better in the field of electric power inspection. This upgraded version of the quadruped robot, designed to take into account the needs of extreme operating environments, will perform even better in the field of electric power inspection.
Unitree B2 is able to work robustly in the extreme temperature range of -20℃ to 55℃, and at the same time, it has IP67 level dustproof and waterproof ability, effectively resisting the intrusion of the external harsh environment. The excellent all-terrain adaptability enables the B2 to walk freely even on slippery, snowy or icy ground, solving the problem of traditional inspection means in special geographic environments.
In addition, Unitree B2 adopts Unitree Robotics' self-developed high-performance articulated motor, which boosts the peak torque to 360N.m, an increase of up to 170%, endowing it with strong stability and balancing ability. Being able to climb 40cm high steps and cross complex terrain greatly improves the flexibility and efficiency of power inspection. In addition, its excellent barrier-crossing and jumping ability, with a maximum jump distance of up to 1.6 meters, provides strong support for emergency rescue and other tasks.
In view of the urgency and breadth of power inspection tasks, Unitree B2 is optimized for speed and endurance. As an industrial-grade quadruped robot with “ceiling” speed, B2 can run at a speed of up to 6m/s, which, combined with its excellent jumping ability, significantly improves the efficiency of inspection work. At the same time, 45000mAh high-capacity battery, rated energy up to 2250Wh, compared with the predecessor Unitree B1, the endurance increased by 200%, easy to cope with large substations and other vast areas of the inspection needs, to achieve full-scene coverage, to reduce the burden and risk of manual inspection.
In conclusion: cold-resistant performance, all-terrain adaptability, powerful power system and ultra-long endurance, Unitree B2, as a power inspection robot, provides a strong guarantee for the stable operation and safe maintenance of the power system.
