Motion Planning of Lineclimber, a Robot for Inspection of Transmission Lines

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a new dual-arms robot called LineClimber, an inspection robot for transmission lines. This robot has a kind of new-type serial-parallel combination driven joint that combine parallel flexible-wire driven mode. The work mechanism of this robot is analyzed. Based on the procedure of crossing obstacles, five elemental work modes are planned. It provides new ideas for simplifying the design of robot control system.
