Abstract
Live working on power distribution lines is an effective way to improve the reliability of power supply. The aerial lift device with an insulated boom is often used as a platform to carry out live working, which is difficult to carry out in mountainous areas, paddy fields, and other complex environments. At the same time, power distribution live working requires highly skilled operators, and a lot of personal security measures, which is not conducive to the application in some developing countries. We imagine that the solution of the above problem is to use a robot to climb up the pole and complete the live working instead of the operator. In this article we report a low-cost modular biomimetic robot. The structure of the robot is designed to meet the requirements of live working, and the motion mechanism of the robot climbing poles and performing live work is analyzed. The feasibility of the technology is verified through simulation, experiments, and tests.
