This paper introduces the design and implement of a novel control systems for power substation equipment inspection robot. According to the real condition of the power substation equipment inspection, the overall structure of the robot control systems are described, and a new monocular robot's navigation method based on colorful image processing was proposed. By the use of image partition of the HSI model and the mathematic morphology, the trajectory and distinguish the stop-sign drew beforehand from the image are obtained. Then the parameters of navigation and positioning are given by ¿sampling estimated¿ method. And the industrial operation of the system shows that the control system can form a kind of full monitor system for substation to greatly improve the safety, dependability and reality of the substation inspection.
