Research and design on inspection Robot for high-voltage transmission lines

摘要

The paper introduces a kind of inspection robot for high-voltage transmission lines from two parts: Mechanical structure and control system. Three arms is adopted in the mechanical structure, while the control system used a hierarchical modular control scheme is designed to a kind of three-layer control structure including the ground monitoring layer, the task decision layer and the action execution layer. The PC/104 and AT89C51 is used for the main control computer, and the MX-servo is used for the power drive components. Except for describing the robot's working process of crossing obstacles in detail, the paper also introduces the responsibilities, hardware components, software design process of the control system. From the simulation experiment on motion control system using Matlab/Simulink, we can conclude that the motion control system of the robot has high-stability and reliability and meet the design requirements.
