Abstract

Efficient and uninterrupted transmission of power from generation stations to consumers is crucial for the development of any country. This paper presents the dynamic design on portable, light and faster aluminum-based robot for safe, cost-effective and reliable inspection of power lines. Unlike the existing robots which are slow and heavy, the proposed two arm aluminum 6061 based robot designed using SOLIDWORKS is fast, portable and inexpensive. The designed concept has been actualized into a real lab-scale robot. To investigate the dynamic behavior of the robot, the mechanical properties of the robot were used to represent the system in a mass-spring-damper configuration. The Lagrange’s equation was used to derive the mathematical equations of the robot. In addition, MATLAB was utilized for the simulation analysis of the robot under different operating conditions. Finally, a bang-bang input was used to drive the robot along the power line in real-time. The simulations and experimental results show that the designed climb-sliding robot has been successfully implemented and can be used for power line inspection.
