Abstract

AbstractThis chapter deals with the state of the art on the application of robots for inspection and maintenance of power transmission lines. Inspection activities generally involve filming lines with high-resolution cameras and/or infrared cameras and sensors. On the other hand, maintenance activities require direct contact of the robots/equipment with the lines, in order to carry out activities related to their components. Numerous studies have been found addressing the theme, regarding models and prototypes development to be used for the inspection and maintenance. After the review presentation related to power transmission line inspection/maintenance robots, a discussion about the area’s main problems and the future researches is carried out.
