“…One can observe all phases of a project, since the design of a remotely manually operated robot till a more sophisticated solution (Maruyama et al 1993, Tanaka et al 1998). Similar work, with different solutions, are described in (Côté et al 2000, Aracil et al 2002, Campos et al 2003, de Souza et al 2004, Rocha and Siqueira 2004. The main advantage of the robot proposed in this paper is its capability to overcome obstacles on the supporting line due to its locomotion structure.…”

This paper presents the current state of the art in mobile robots used on power transmission lines. Many theoretical and experimental studies have been conducted in order to develop autonomous machines to travel along transmission lines to perform inspection and/or repair work. These machines can improve efficiency, reduce labour costs and are expected to reduce the risk of injury to maintenance personnel. Despite there already being a number of pieces of theoretical research and technological developments in this area, problems related to stability, ability and autonomy still exist. As such, first this paper presents the main studies already carried out and the devices generally used on power transmission lines. After the latest trends have been presented, a new idea for module robots carrying out inspections/maintenance of power transmission lines is presented. Finally, the future of mobile robots applied to power transmission lines is discussed.

“…Due to the repetitive scene of cables and isolators the inspection of such elements is monotonous and the quality of the inspection result cannot be guaranteed. Many papers in the literature have considered the application of service robots for this task, but it is still an open subject for investigation (Côté et al 2000, Aracil et al 2002, Campos et al 2003, de Souza et al 2004, Rocha and ao Siqueira 2004.…”

In this paper we present the control of an underactuated brachiation robot with only one unactuated joint using the nonlinear model based predictive approach for the motion control. The robot used has 3 links, i. e., two arms and a body. We adopt the MPC to control the underactuated brachiation robot due to its advantages, mainly the construction of an optimal stabilizing control law and due to its ability to consider, in a direct way, the constraints into the optimization problem. At the end we present computational simulations with their respective results and we highlight some important considerations
