Abstract :
This paper discusses work executed for the development of a ground operated teleoperation system for live-line maintenance of Hydro-Quebec´s overhead distribution network. It covers the system´s development, engineering and implementation as well as forecasted research with the prototype. Related research conducted in conjunction with the system´s development is explained further along. Finally, some other fields to which the technology can be applied are described
