Recently, Yuequan Bionics' self-developed wheeled humanoid robot, Bowen W-Bot 2.0, successfully completed live-line operation field deployment at Hefei State Grid. The robot conducted real-world validation for uninterrupted urban distribution network maintenance and executed the full workflow of cable stripping. Deployed via an insulated aerial bucket truck platform, the robot features high mobility and rapid on-site setup, enabling swift access to various urban power line work locations. Equipped with the X-Hand M1 bionic dexterous hand and a 7-degree-of-freedom anthropomorphic arm, Bowen W-Bot 2.0 supports a single-arm payload of 10 kg and a dual-arm payload of 20 kg, with an operational height range of 0–2.2 meters. Its workspace is designed for both near and remote operation modes. With a compact chassis footprint of just 0.2 square meters and a tightly integrated body-joint layout, the robot can navigate through narrow conductor spacings and tight equipment gaps. During operations, the robot leverages its full-body hierarchical neural network-based motion and balance control technology to continuously calculate shifts in the system’s center of gravity. Through coordinated multi-joint dynamic adjustments of force distribution, it maintains stable standing posture even under significantly increased single-arm loads, effectively avoiding risks such as body sway or accidental contact with adjacent live components. Currently, Bowen W-Bot 2.0 is capable of performing high-frequency, elevated live-line tasks including cable inspection and repair, component replacement, and removal of foreign objects from power lines. The robot has already undergone live-line operation field testing at the 2026 World Robot Conference, while the first-generation Bowen W-Bot has completed routine industrial scenario validation at the FAW-Yuequan Robotics Application Laboratory.
