China Telecom, in conjunction with Zhejiang University and ZTE Corporation, jointly launched a digital twin-based communication and perception integrated robot inspection program, which guarantees the routine inspection tasks of substations by empowering quadrupedal robots with the ability to communicate, perceive, and control each other in a real and virtual way, thus reducing the safety risks of substations, meeting the high-frequency inspection needs, and compensating for the lack of manual inspections.
