Abstract
Abstract: The paper presents sharing several of experiences and practices on smart robotic application for overhead transmission line maintenance and inspection. The robotic puller passes over barriers below the power line, such as the road with traffic, power distribution lines, river, or vegetation making tasks achieved conveniently, safely, and rapidly without impact on nearby communities.The target of the research is to create a mobile robot prototype for inspection of overhead power lines. The inspection robot shall crawl along the ground wire and transpose autonomously across installed equipment on the ground wire, such as vibration dampers, suspension clamps, compression dead ends, etc. In addition, the inspection robot is able to take photos and videos during a transmission line inspection . Using the robot, transmission line inspection’s labor cost can be reduced, and the new method helps improve patrol and inspection efficiency, comparing to the conventional manpower method. Trough utilization of the new maintenance and inspection robots, utilities can minimiz transmission line operation & maintenance budget.
