The invention discloses a universal remote operation system oriented to a power distribution network operation robot and a method thereof. The universal remote operation system mainly comprises an operation master end, an operation slave end, a control machine and a network, wherein the operation master end is in communication connection with the operation slave end through the control machine andthe network; the operation master end comprises remote operation equipment and virtual reality equipment; the operation slave end comprises a camera and a mechanical arm which are arranged on the robot; and the operation of the remote operation equipment is mapped to the mechanical arm of the remote robot in real time through the control machine, so that the remote operation of the robot for power distribution network operation is realized. According to the universal remote operation system oriented to the power distribution network operation robot and the method thereof, a three-dimensionalvisual virtual reality system and a heterogeneous remote operation control system are combined to better carry out three-dimensional perception on scene information, so that the robot remote operationis more accurate and rapid; and because the virtual reality system and the remote operation system are pre-configured cross-bottom layer platform systems, the two systems do not interfere with each other and have good replaceability and universality, and the universal remote operation system is convenient for wide application and popularization.
