“…Arman, se trata de un robot autosustentable desarrollado por el instituto de investigación en Electrónica de Potencia (EPRI) de Estados Unidos, capaz de recorrer las líneas eléctricas para labores de inspección, análisis y estudio en áreas de difícil acceso [9]. Snake-like, lleva su nombre dado que su locomoción se basa en las culebras.…”

Abstract. A mobile robot was designed and simulated for the inspection of electrical lines, which seeks to investigate alternatives that have the main necessary characteristics to perform these inspection tasks and implement them in a robot of accessible costs. In the robot design was modeled its mechanical parts in 3D and then previously taken to a virtual simulation software (Vrep), in which the sequence of movements were programmed, to pass obstacles.

Energy is a major driver of developments in human society. Naturally, the energy efficiency of power grids qualifies as an important topic. Half a century old, the world's power grids are due for a major overhaul. The envisioned energy-efficient, environment-friendly, distributed-generation-friendly, demand-response-friendly, self-healing power grid is called the smart grid. This article is intended as a primer on the control and communication techniques that form the basis of several smart grid subsystems, namely distributed generation, wide-area monitoring, distribution automation, and substation automation. The theme of this article is to show how these techniques contribute to the efficiency of the generation, transmission, and distribution segments of a grid. Potential research challenges and opportunities are indicated. To complement our technical discussion, noteworthy smart grid developments in Australia (one of the world's top investors in smart grids) are highlighted.

This paper presents a review of several robotic tools applied to the activity of pruning near power distribution lines. Power utilities prune trees to minimize the tree-caused power outages, because they are the greatest single cause of outages for power utilities in overhead distribution systems. Pruning trees around overhead power lines is considered a dangerous task due to many factors such as the risk of fall, electrical shock, accidents with the pruning tools and insect attack. Therefore robotic systems may provide a significant increase not only in productivity but also may provide a safe environment to perform the task. The article discusses both airborne and ground-based robots. Since most existing works in the literature are related to rural areas, this paper discusses some requirements to enable this kind of technology in urban areas.
