Shenmou's "Dragon Claw" Wins State Grid Power Drone Project Bid
3 reports · 3 sources
Shenmou Intelligence's aerial-operation drone "Dragon Claw" has won the State Grid Power bid for the "High-Stability Drone for Aerial Operations" project. The system operates in a "drone + robotic arm + dexterous hand" configuration: the drone first conducts inspections to identify foreign objects such as bird nests on overhead transmission lines, after which the robotic arm and dexterous hand carry out handling and re-inspection, forming an integrated process of detection, handling and re-inspection. Shenmou states that the drone and robotic arm bodies, the multi-redundant flight control system, target grasping control, dynamic visual guidance and the piezoelectric six-axis force sensor are all self-developed. The company also cites research stating that annual procurement demand for related items in a single province is approximately 150 million to 200 million yuan. The drone platform adopts a modular design and, with a streamlined configuration, can be downgraded for use in other general scenarios. Another self-developed Shenmou product, the "Yaomou 150" heavy-lift drone, has already received orders in industries such as emergency rescue and CNOOC, and is applying for airworthiness certification.

- Shenmou Intelligence's Dragon Claw arm-equipped aerial work drone wins State Grid power aerial operations project
Shenmou Intelligence's Dragon Claw aerial work drone has won State Grid Power's "High-Stability UAV for Aerial Operations" project, using a drone-plus-robotic-arm-plus-dexterous-hand configuration to clear foreign-object hazards on overhead transmission lines. The system identifies foreign objects such as bird nests through inspection, then uses the robotic arm and dexterous hand to carry out removal and verification, forming an integrated discover-handle-verify workflow. Shenmou says it developed the flight control system, robotic arm and dexterous-hand grasping control, dynamic visual guidance, and piezoelectric six-axis force sensors in-house, and cites research estimating annual procurement demand of about 150 million to 200 million yuan per province.
