In our increasingly electrified society, electricity has become indispensable to both production and daily life. However, high-load electric energy transmission presents inherent safety risks. To ensure the secure transportation of electric energy, live work on distribution networks is essential. However, traditional live work techniques require a high level of dependence on worker experience, which frequently leads to inaccurate safety distances and degrades worker security. This study proposes the integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with intelligent robot sensing technology to enhance safety and efficiency in live work. By accurately measuring safety distances, UAVs offer a promising solution to mitigate risks associated with high-voltage circuits. Comparative analysis between traditional and intelligent live work safety distance measurements reveals the two live works under the high voltage circuit were 92% and 96%, respectively, and the accuracy of the two live work safe distance measurements under the low voltage circuit was 84% and 99%, respectively. Results demonstrate that UAVs equipped with intelligent sensing technology achieve superior accuracy in safe ranging for live work, thereby ensuring stable energy transmission and safeguarding the lives of workers in distribution networks.
