Development of foreign matter removal robot for overhead transmission lines

In recent years, the limitations of artificial live working have become increasingly prominent. Researching robot technology that replaces manual work has become an important branch of intelligent research on power maintenance. In this paper, the objects and tasks of foreign matter removal in overhead transmission lines are analyzed. The structure of the robot is introduced, and the control method and software design of the robot system are described. The test and field application show that the robot is reliable, stable and easy to control. It can remove floating foreign matters on the overhead line, meet the requirements of live working of the transmission line, and can replace the manual removal of foreign objects.
