    The document discusses a transmission line inspection robot that can eliminate the risks to human line inspectors. The robot is mounted on transmission lines charged to 440kV or higher and uses cameras and sensors to inspect components like conductors and insulators while transmitting data to a remote operator. It can cross obstacles like towers and jumpers faster than manual inspection. Using the robot reduces repair costs and human risks compared to traditional inspection methods.

    Transmission Line Inspection Robot

    The transmission lines are charged to 440KV and above and the use of robots in the
    inspection of these transmission lines eliminate the hazardous risks to the lives of the
    Line Inspectors by 100 per cent.

    Long transmission lines run across the world to provide electricity in different states, territories cities, blocks
    and houses. They are the most widely distributed assets amongst the utility industry. Now the major question
    here is to maintain the reliability and the efficiency of these transmission lines that is achieved by regular
    inspection, done either manually or by using helicopters (used only in foreign countries), which are considered
    to be costly as well as risky modes of inspection.

    As per Forbes, inspection and repairing of Transmission Lines is the 7th most dangerous job in the world. The
    professional use of a Robot for this inspection would eliminate the risk by 100 per cent and increase the data
    accuracy. The job would be done faster and due to better inspection, the health of the power systems would
    improve.

    Dubbed 'Transmission Line Inspection Robot' or 'Robot For Transmission Line Inspection'
    or many other names being given to it, is similar to a person inspecting the transmission
    lines manually, which has so many risks to lives. The main purpose is to inspect the
    physical conditions of overhead transmission line, which are charged to 440kV and
    above. The work of the robot will be to actually travel on these transmission line cables,
    use its camera to take images of the various transmission line components such as
    conductors, insulators etc and to measure the ground clearance i.e the distance between
    line and ground. One important feature that this robot has is that it can cross the tower
    and enter into next span, which saves lot of time as compared to the manual inspection.
    Working:
    The Robot is mounted on the transmission line to work on the Walk-Stop-Detect
    principle. It travels on the transmission line and inspects the physical parameters of
    transmission line components closely. It then transmits the collected data to the
    operator sitting in a centralized location, in a safe place. The Robot is capable of crossing
    all the minor obstacles like spacers, dampers and also the major hindrances like towers
    and jumpers etc. It is designed to operate on the live conditions, inspect physical
    conditions, tackle obstacles and parallely transmit the data collected from the field to the
    operator in remote condition.
    Advantages:
    This Robot can form an important solution for all the companies that are involved in
    Transmission Business. All the sensor organisations and advanced programming can help
    to make the Robots flexible so much so that it can be customized for particular
    requirements of the company.The cost of repairs involved in the transmission line
    business is considerably high when it comes to maintaining the integrity of the power
    system which also includes salaries and transportation. This issue can be resolved by
    minimising the human intervention with the incorporation of Robots. It will not only
    increase the life of components but also minimize the repairing costs resulting in the
    considerably lower payback period, which will surely be advantageous to industry.
