The intelligent inspection robots in substations mostly use wheeled chassis, which have good passability when running on flat roads, but it is difficult to effectively cross obstacles under terrain conditions such as steps and stairs. A quadruped inspection robot for substation is designed to improve the walking ability of the robot with a four-leg alternate walking mode to optimize the leg structure design for road conditions such as steps and stairs in the substation. The robot is equipped with pan-tilt detection components and inspection equipment such as multi-degree-of-freedom manipulators can complete intelligent inspection and lightweight maintenance tasks in open substations, and achieve full coverage of the inspection area.
