Abstract
Electric utilities that operate power transmission networks must periodically inspect their numerous substations which contain diversified types of equipment (power transformers, circuit breakers, etc.). Completing all the inspection tasks is challenging for a geographically distributed network like the one operated by Hydro-Quebec. Using remote robot systems´ to accomplish those tasks is beneficent in terms of personnel safety, operational efficiency and asset management. The robot system must, however, be capable of operating reliably in harsh winter conditions. This paper presents a new robot system developed at Hydro-Quebec capable of addressing these specific´ inspection needs. It provides an overview of the system and its main components followed by a more detailed description of the software and algorithms required for autonomous operation of such an inspection robot, particularly in winter conditions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
