Abstract: The global shift towards renewable energy is a vital step in fostering sustainability and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. Nevertheless, maintaining the infrastructure of renewable energy systems, such as wind turbines, solar panels, and energy storage technologies, presents ongoing challenges. Traditional maintenance strategies, including periodic inspections and reactive repairs, are often expensive and lead to considerable downtime. This study explores the potential of robotic systems in implementing predictive maintenance (PdM) within renewable energy networks, emphasizing their capacity to enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs. By integrating cutting-edge robotics with predictive data analytics, these systems facilitate continuous monitoring, anticipate failures before they occur, and automate inspection tasks, even in difficult-to-reach or isolated environments. The paper examines different robotic solutions, including drones, autonomous robots, and robotic manipulators, alongside the use of IoT sensors, machine learning, and AI to refine maintenance strategies. Additionally, it investigates the challenges associated with system integration, scalability, and ensuring operational safety. The findings indicate that robotic PdM technologies not only increase the lifespan of renewable energy assets but also help lower maintenance costs and boost energy production efficiency. In conclusion, the paper proposes a comprehensive framework for incorporating robotic PdM solutions into renewable energy infrastructures, presenting a path to more efficient and reliable management of these critical systems.
