Project Overview

Research objectives and focus

Project Description

Robotics Utility Network (RUN) will serve as a vital hub for professionals, researchers, and stakeholders to collaborate, learn, and innovate in the field of robotics, drones, and data-related technologies. By participating in these groups, members can gain access to valuable resources, expertise, and networking opportunities that can help advance their projects and drive the adoption of advanced robotics in substation/distribution/transmission environments.

Research Value

The expected benefits EPRI is aiming for with RUN group include being able to:

  • Organize meetings, workshops, and educational resources to present research findings, case studeies, and experiments.
  • Provide a platform for peer-to-peer information exchange on the latest advancements, technologies, and experiences related to robotics.
  • Assist members in overcoming challenges through collaboration.
  • Foster relationships that can lead to collaborative projects, partnerships, or other joint initiatives.
  • Advocate for the adoption of advanced robotics and drone technologies in electric utility environments.
  • Highlight the benefits of robotic automation to the broader industry and stakeholders.
  • Consolidate information in a rapidly advancing technical area.
