Lineer Robotics, Inc.
ActiveDrone-deployed robots for unmanned live powerline maintenance
What it does
**Lineer Robotics** develops drone-deployable robots that work directly on energized power lines, enabling electric utilities to perform critical maintenance without outages — and with fewer people in the field. The system addresses high-priority operational challenges such as tree trimming and ice removal. A drone places the robot onto the conductor in minutes, the robot executes the task on the live line, and the drone retrieves or repositions it as needed — enhancing safety, reliability, and efficiency across distribution networks. **Field-test video:** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svzhEecr-jc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svzhEecr-jc)
