“…One of the first robots was developed by Centrais Elétricas de Minas Gerais (CEMIG) and Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), even before the mandated R&D programs [1]. It was a semi-autonomous robot for insertion and removal of aircraft warning spheres on aerial power lines and is shown in figure 1.…”

Currently, the power industry in Brazil is a system with many public and private companies competing by market rules and regulated by an specific agency (ANEEL). The legal mark for the power industry defines the Research and Development (R&D) Program of the Power Sector. By a Federal Law companies operating under concession, permission or authorization of the government in distribution, transmission or power generation should apply a minimum percentage of their net operational revenues in research and development. The power companies have the decision on which project to fund, but they do not conduct the R&D themselves. Instead, they should apply the resources by contracting a national research and development institution. The results are evaluated by ANEEL, an if not considered appropriate, the resources are considered as not applied and should be applied again in another project in the next year. A significant amount of resources from the R&D programs, have been used to fund the development of robotic devices. This paper presents a survey of those developments.

“…Meanwhile, some researchers focused on making fully operational robots to carry out special tasks on the power lines, even though they were not able to perform the task fully autonomously. One such robot was presented by Campos et al in 2002. The proposed robot, shown in Figure 10, is a simple but operational cable-climbing mechanism for installation and removal of the aircraft warning spheres.…”

Abstract-The purpose of inspection tasks for power transmission lines is to check running state and find damages of extra-high voltage (EHV) power transmission lines equipment. Obviously, inspection tasks are very important for normal operation of power transmission lines. So far, there are two methods for checking power transmission lines. One method is that power transmission line equipment has been checked manually by workers with a telescope on the ground. Another method is that power transmission line equipment has been inspected by helicopter with the checking devices which are thermal infrared imager, visible light camera and so on. After inspection robot configuration is described, the centroid adjustment principle of inspection robot is introduced. Then the control strategy of inspection robot is investigated. From the experiments, we find that the centriod adjustment method proposed and the control strategy presented is feasible.
