“…It can be said that along with the progress of science and technology, intelligent robots closer and closer to people, their ability to work more and more. Modern life in the, for some special or dangerous environment task, as battlefield mine, and space detection, and marine adventure, and human cannot arrived or in on human has against of job environment in the, on need robot instead of artificial to completed, through remote control robot in site job, and real-time monitoring its work status, processing various burst situation, eventually reached completed task of purpose, also are because so, detection robot of remote visual signal transmission and control became today robot learn of hot problem [3].…”

Abstract. with the development of robotics, robots will play a great role in the complicated conditions and extreme environments. Robots are used in data collection and complete the task of detecting robot developed for disaster relief in the future, in particular, guarantee the security of aid workers is of great significance. Through the robot's remote transmission of visual signals and control to ensure that their completed mission, is the main content of this article. Object to detect robots for this paper, analysis of robotic remote tasks, and on the basis of functional requirements, combining robot visual signal remote transmission and control technology, design of the Detection robot system, I believe that can be widely used in various environmental conditions.

“…Another method uses unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and airplanes and is highly efficient compared to manual operations but it is more expensive and climate dependant. Thus, since the early 1990s many researchers have proposed mobile robots [1,[3][4][5][6][7], to assist or replace the people working on power transmission lines. The development of these robots is still an open research field.…”

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.

Abstract-Aluminum conductor steel-reinforced (ACSR) cable is a specific type of stranded cable typically used for electrical power delivery. Steel strands in ACSR cable play a supportive role for overhead power line. Inspection timely is an important means to insure safety operation of power lines. As steel strands are wrapped in the center of ACSR cable, the common artificial inspection methods with optical instruments are limited to find inner flaws of power line. Recently, inspection of power line by robot with detectors is a method with good prospect. In this paper, the optimal design model of detector based on magnetic leakage flux (MLF) carried by robot for detecting broken steel strands in ACSR cables has been proposed. The optimal design model of MFL sensor is solved by niche genetic algorithm (NGA). Field experiment results show that the design method of the detector can be applied to different types of ACSR cables. The magnitude field induced by transmission current has nearly no influences on the detection of broken steel strands, and the developed detector carried by robot can identify broken steel strands with high reliability and sensitivity.
