Up on high-voltage power lines dozens of meters in the air, there’s a new special employee. It looks like a snake, but it’s actually a patrol robot developed in-house by China’s Yunnan Power Grid. With its flexible multi-jointed body, it slowly crawls along the wires. When it encounters obstacles like insulators, it adjusts its posture to climb over them. Its head is equipped with a camera and thermal sensor. It can quickly detect broken strands, worn parts, or abnormal connector temperatures. Most impressively, it can charge itself directly from the high-voltage lines without needing to come down often for recharging. A robot like this eliminates the dangers that workers face during high-altitude operations.

Hengxinfeng filmed NOTHING, just posted a video of its unbreakable windows on social media, and went VIRAL.
EPIC TROLLING!
