What equipment support jobs are associated with operating these robots

Thoughts

Robot operators/controllers, insulated boom/bucket truck operators, on-site supervisors/guardians, field maintenance/operations technicians, and related setup/support roles.These live-line work robots (mainly dual-arm systems for 10 kV distribution lines used by State Grid and similar operators) are not fully autonomous in most deployments. They rely on human-machine collaboration, with the robot performing high-risk tasks at height while people handle control, positioning, oversight, and upkeep from the ground or support vehicles.Key associated roles include:Robot operators / remote controllers: Ground personnel who use handheld terminals, tablets, or remote systems to monitor real-time HD camera/sensor feeds and command actions (insulation stripping, wire splicing/connections, grounding ring or accessory installation, tool changes). They typically need specialized robot theory + practical training plus traditional live-line qualifications and experience. Operations emphasize “human-machine separation” for safety.
Insulated bucket/boom truck (aerial lift) operators: Staff who drive and position the insulated elevating platform that lifts and stabilizes the robot at the work site on overhead lines. This provides the stable high-altitude “work platform” for the robot.
Work responsible persons / dedicated guardians / supervisors: On-site leaders who organize the job, issue/monitor work tickets, ensure safety protocols and emergency readiness, and oversee the full process. Standards require live-line experience plus robot-specific training and approval.
Field operations and maintenance (O&M) engineers/technicians: Roles focused on equipment support, such as robot system deployment and debugging, routine inspections, fault diagnosis/troubleshooting, network/system optimization, preventive maintenance, upgrades, documentation, and on-site technical training/support. Job postings (e.g., for companies supplying or supporting State Grid robots) emphasize power, automation, AI/computer, or robotics backgrounds, plus willingness for field travel. Related tasks cover mechanical, electrical, sensor, and control aspects of the robot, end-effectors/tools, and associated systems.
Setup and logistics support: Crews that prepare/swap specialized end-tools on the robotic arms, handle transport/storage of the robots and platforms, and assist with site preparation. Some higher-voltage or specialized cases also involve drone operators for aerial deployment of certain robots.

These roles reduce the need for workers to perform the most dangerous direct live-line contact while creating demand for interdisciplinary skills combining traditional power-line knowledge with robotics operation, remote control, sensors/vision systems, and equipment maintenance. Training programs, operational standards (e.g., Chinese industry procedures for distribution live-work robots), and company practices emphasize certified operators, guardians, and maintainers. Efficiency gains (often cited around 40–60% faster than pure manual methods) and safety improvements come from this human-supported model rather than fully eliminating personnel.

@SSMEGA_CLIPS Chess or more like checkers on a Ouijad board.

The estimated cost of President Trump's proposed Trump class battleship has climbed sharply, with the Congressional Budget Office now projecting 15 nuclear-powered guided missile battleships would cost roughly $275 billion, about 50% higher than earlier Navy estimates.

CBO estimates the lead ship could cost $23.4 billion and take eight years or more to build, while follow on ships are projected at just over $18 billion each. For comparison, that would make the lead Trump-class battleship more expensive than even a Ford class nuclear powered aircraft carrier, currently the most expensive warship in the U.S. Navy, with future Ford-class carriers estimated to cost around $14 billion each.

The higher costs are driven in part by the decision to switch the design to nuclear propulsion, while critics also point to the Navy's recent struggles delivering new ship classes on time and on budget.

Well maybe 1,000s of jobs is worth your work commute....Precise Location
Coordinates (approximate center of the reservoir / plant site):
30.624°N, 96.064°W (or more precisely ~30°37.45′N 96°3.85′W)33b0f8
Wikipedia
Historic plant address: 12824 FM 244, Anderson, TX 77830
Roughly 15–20 miles east of College Station / Bryan
About 9.5 miles southeast of Anderson (the county seat)
Near the small community of Carlos and accessible primarily via FM 244 (north of State Highway 30)
The site includes the former coal-fired power plant property (demolished after 2019 closure) plus thousands of acres of surrounding land acquired around the reservoir, which provides large-scale water storage capacity critical for a semiconductor fab.
Thanks, for the support.

@CitizenHughes @BasedMikeLee Thune's poticial skills seem unimpressive, clearly he is not a leader by some definitions. We can do better.

[Dave H @dbh00034]

@grok @BurnsPatel28265 @ericnuttall So what number is it now compared to Biden's 347

[Dave H @dbh00034]

@Patrick_MDD210 @RandPaul Rand doesn't do this bc he is not a leader. He talks without leading...we need better in the Senate including him.

[Dave H @dbh00034]

@NSTRIKE1231 So it's a dead zone where anything that moves is killed? Good luck with that. Peace.

@TheStudyofWar When's your update...spin control assessment? 🤡

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

@MJTruthUltra HELLO @LeaderJohnThune DO YOU SEE THIS SHIT?!!!!!!!!

ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION?!!!!!!!

WOULD YOU PLEASE PASS THE FREAKING SAVE ACT SO THIS CRAP DOESN'T HAPPEN IN THE MIDTERMS?!!!!!!!!!

WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME AND YOU DON'T GIVE A SHIT!!!!!!

[Sherry Sadie @SadieSherr45406]

@RepBrandonGill Well, may be a coincidence

Notice how Dems aren't complaining about Ukraine war since President Trump cut off funding?

Notice how USAID is gone?
Notice how ACT Blue is under investigation
Notice how the DNC is broke

I would say, prove Hoffman was like Epstein rather than pick at these sad, pathetic ppl. Real justice, not politics.

[Bama_Jeans @bamajayt]

▶️Both of these lying women's legal fees were paid by Reid Hoffman, Democrat billionaire.

▶️Epstein files revealed emails from Hoffman to Epstein, thanking Epstein for his stays at Epstein Island, New Mexico Ranch and the New York City Apartment

Christine Blasey Ford tried to ruin Kavanaugh's stellar reputation, career and his life

E Jean Carroll lied about the dress she wore, couldn't even remember when the "alleged " assault happened, was never seen with Trump( in New York of all places 🙄), watched sodomy porn with her mom, thinks rape is sexy and had a history of accusing other men of the same thing.

These scumbags make it harder for ACTUAL victims.
Ford,Carroll and Hoffman need to be held accountable for perjury

It's the second sentence that is perfect. I guess he should have said that before the ppl's vote told him. He is like a guy getting hit by the 🚌, they never see it coming.

We will block far right agitators from traveling to Britain this weekend for a march designed to confront and provoke our diverse capital city.

We will not allow people to come to the UK, threaten our communities and spread hate on our streets.

It goes both ways. It's called representation. If more people have aligned govt goals that is how they vote. The maps looks like a terrible process, although the representative breakdown is pretty close to the national numbers, I think. Anyway, if you don't like it then vote and convince more ppl to vote like you...otherwise move. Wait, ppl are moving so maybe it's working 🤔

Comrades, artificial intelligence is indeed the most transformative technology in history.

It threatens to generate infinite prosperity without requiring a single government permit!

We are absolutely not prepared for a society where the working class achieves financial independence at zero cost.

If we do not aggressively intervene right now, the citizens will no longer need our glorious state subsidies.

Any algorithm that generates surplus value and improves the quality of life of the working class will be confiscated.

Surrender your technological progress.

The 5 year plan is perfect. ☭

@Timcast ..an uptick...🤡

[Dave H @dbh00034]

I would like to understand better how this guy was in the building...Under 18 U.S.C. § 3056, the Secret Service is authorized to protect the President (and other designated protectees) and has broad powers to carry out that mission, including executing warrants, making arrests, and conducting activities necessary for protection. This includes protective intelligence work and advance security planning for events like the WHCA Dinner (treated as a National Special Security Event or similar high-threat venue). https://t.co/PtXWyoLrE2

If the agencies had reviewed the social media footprint of every person on the hotel’s reservation/guest list (using details like full name, date of birth, address, or photo from the reservation data the Secret Service already receives in advance), they could have identified Allen’s history of negative posts and writings. His accounts were not anonymous or hidden; they matched his real-world identity (Caltech/Cal State grad, tutor/game developer from Torrance, CA) and were discoverable via standard name-based searches that investigators performed post-incident. https://t.co/R8aElcjrEb

Timelines for something like a WHCA Dinner guest listFor a high-profile National Special Security Event (NSSE) like the White House Correspondents’ Dinner:Advance screening (weeks/months out): Hotels provide reservation data. Names are run through databases + targeted OSINT. AI tools handle bulk ingestion and flagging quickly; analysts focus on hits. A full guest list review is standard and feasible within days to a couple of weeks, depending on staffing and risk level.

https://t.co/yyR1swpF3t

3–5 days? Entirely realistic for a dedicated team with these tools—especially if automated first-pass filtering narrows it to high-priority individuals for manual review. Routine for major events; not every name gets a deep human dive unless flagged.

https://t.co/Ccub8StwDo

Limitations still exist: AI can over-flag (context errors, bias risks), and low-profile people without strong signals (like Cole Allen pre-incident) can slip through if they don’t hit watchlists or obvious keywords. Not every guest triggers exhaustive review.

https://t.co/HK31ztgYdP

In contrast, I’m limited to sequential public web/X searches in this chat—great for spot-checks or small batches, but nowhere near the parallel, automated, integrated scale of government systems. They’re built exactly for protective intelligence scenarios like this.
