Abstract

Power line inspection is an essential job for the maintenance of electric grids. However, the job is not easy due to wide range of grid distribution. Besides manually inspecting power lines, which is still the main method, helicopters are also used for the inspection from the sky. In the recent years, unmanned flying systems were used for power line inspection in order to reduce the risk. In recent years, some researchers have started to use unmanned helicopters to inspect power lines. Following their research, we present an applied inspection robot called SmartCopter based on an Unmanned Autonomous Helicopter (UAH) for the inspection of transmission lines. Our interest is on the combination of a UAH and an inspection system for the practical application in the field. This paper describes the design of the flying robot and presents the experimental results.
用飞行机器人检查输电线
电力线检测是电网维护的一项重要工作。然而,由于电网分布范围广,这项工作并不容易。除了人工检查电线(这仍然是主要的方法)之外,直升机也被用于从空中检查。近年来,无人飞行系统被广泛应用于电力线路巡检,以降低风险。近年来,一些研究人员开始使用无人直升机来检查电力线。根据他们的研究,我们提出了一种名为SmartCopter的应用检测机器人,该机器人基于无人驾驶自主直升机(UAH),用于检测输电线路。我们的兴趣是将UAH和检测系统结合起来,在现场进行实际应用。本文介绍了飞行机器人的设计,并给出了实验结果。
