Design of a Pan-Tilt System for Substation Inspection Robot

Abstract:

The performance of pan-tilt system is very important to substation inspection robot when performing inspection tasks, but the existing products cannot fully meet the requirements in this application field. To solve this problem, a pan-tilt system designed for inspection robot is illustrated in this paper, and the hardware and software designing process are discussed briefly. In order to verify the control quality of this system, an experimental test has been carried out, and the pan-tilt system designed in this paper has enough ability to help inspection robot fulfill inspection tasks.
