Implementations are described herein for operating rail-mounted robots in hazardous conditions. In various implementations, a rail-mounted robot configured to inspect a plant with an explosion proof area may include: an actuator to propel the rail-mounted robot along a rail; a battery to provide power to the actuator; a charger to draw power from a power terminal integral with the rail while the rail-mounted robot is in motion, and to charge the battery using the drawn power; and logic to localize the rail-mounted robot based on readings from location indicia distributed along the rail.
