Abstract: As a working tool of power robot, wire-driven flexible manipulator plays an important role in the field of key equipment operation and maintenance in the power industry. The application status of wire-driven flexible manipulators in power transformation and power generation mainly in nuclear power is summarized. The key technologies of wire-driven flexible manipulators applied in power scenarios are reviewed, and the research status and existing problems in structure design, modelling control, sensing detection, motion planning and human-machine interaction technology of wire-driven flexible manipulators are analyzed. Finally, the wire-driven flexible manipulator development trend of the operation and maintenance of key equipment in the power industry and other industrial fields is prospected.
