Abstract :
This work presents the development of a mobile
robot for autonomous installation and removal of aircraft warning
spheres on overhead wires of electric power transmission lines.
It will enable power distribution companies to replace highly
dangerous operations which are currently performed by a human
operator hanging off the side of a helicopter hovering a couple of
meters away of live transmission lines. The robot was built and
field tested in real operational situations and proved to be both
efficient and robust.
