This survey article highlights the difficulties in the field maintenance of telecommunication towers. It critically analyses the main features of the deployment of robots to maintain telecommunication towers. The growing demand for mobile connectivity poses the need for more towers, and the subsequent problem of network maintenance becomes more critical. Most tower maintenance is required work at height; therefore, height‐related risks are more frequent. A rigorous review is conducted, and the growth of the telecommunications network and key on‐site maintenance challenges are analyzed. Despite numerous challenges, these towers are maintained manually by riggers (certified climbers) worldwide. It raises the question, Is it possible to implement automation by robots for the maintenance of telecommunications towers? The feasibility analysis to deploy the robots is conducted systematically. To access the tower through a robot, detailed information on the type of towers, the climbing arrangements available on the existing towers, and the necessary operations to be carried out at the height is collected. A critical analysis of the climbing robots currently available in the literature, their grasping technology, and control algorithms is performed. The opinion of experts in the telecommunication industry is very helpful in identifying the requirements of robotic systems. The design attributes especially needed for the climbing robot, and the execution of the maintenance in height are highlighted. Due justification is given for deploying robots for field maintenance of telecom towers. The recommended methodology for designing an automation system helps research in the field of maintenance of telecom towers through robots, which could bring a remarkable solution to the telecom sector.

Robotics is one of the most emerging technologies in the current scenario. In this fast-growing technological world automation through robotics finds its place in almost all the fields. Climbing robots became more popular due to their versatile applications like inspection of tall buildings, tanks, structures, facade cleaning, fruits harvesting on tall trees (coconut) and many more. It became most adaptive as working on height may lead to dangerous incidents for human beings. Operations like visual inspection, crack detection of tall structures and pipes can be made possible with specially designed pipe climber robot. It finds its applications where human cannot reach, like hazardous applications. Specially design robots for a specific application also performs well with precision. This paper presents the novel design and analysis of pipe climbing robot for Chemical plant pipeline fault and leakage detection purpose. Design of all components of the robot is done with the basic mathematical consideration and then its analysis is carried out using FEA tools and MATLAB. Results of Forward and Inverse kinematic analysis of robot are obtained for certain specific points of trajectory. Dynamic analysis has been performed for motor selection and torque calculation. Presented conceptual design and analysis can be useful for pipe inspection purpose.
