Autonomous robotic de-icing for high-voltage power lines.

A robot that lives on the line.

The Alpine Robotics crawler clamps onto an energized transmission conductor and travels its length, mechanically shearing and shedding ice as it goes. It runs autonomously, navigates spacers and fittings, and operates in storms that ground every helicopter.

• Crawls the cable — drive units grip and traverse the conductor across full spans.
• Removes ice mechanically — active de-icing head clears accretion without damaging the line.
• Fully autonomous — onboard sensing and route logic; no pilot, no crew on the line.
• All-weather — works through wind and storm conditions that stop aircraft.
• Live telemetry — streams line condition, ice load, and inspection data back to the operator.
